The new 500 "Color Therapy" will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show. It's pop and it interprets the pastel colors which were famous during the '60s and '70s. Look at the first photos of this brand-new version of 500.


500 "Color Therapy" Blue

500 "Color Therapy" Gray

500 "Color Therapy" Coffee cream

500 "Color Therapy" Yellow ochre

500 "Color Therapy" Red

It's almost like they have been listening to us!

I like the blue one .

I think the coffee cream is going to be another 'marmite' colour from the same paintbox as the old yeye green. Perhaps the most 'retro' colour of this set; I suspect it won't be everyone's favourite. The one in the picture looks like it belongs in the slow lane & perhaps FIAT should consider offering it with a 35HP engine & drum brakes all round .

And IMO anyone putting alloys on a coffee cream / yeye green 500 should be shot.

Are you sure that's Volaire? Looks much more pastel in that photo to me.

Volaire is a pretty colour, but IMO it's too vivid for a retro edition.

I like them all - they work really well with the simplicity of the Pop with the vintage wheel trims. The Coffe cream is nice but my fave is the Gray which is very similar to the Tech House Gray I've just ordered!

I can't notice any difference of the volare blue compared with the old blue option.

Looks different to volare blue to me as well. Looks a cross between volare blue and CCCAB.

IMHO it's a different colour. Far more pastel.

Are these 'new' colours only for the POP and will they 'run' alongside the current range of colours for the other models ?
I like the red - darker shade than the current passadola.

I tried to search for that kind of info too but with no specific results in the end. The only thing i managed to found is about the colors (range, white details) and that it will also come with manual A/C. That's all for the moment.

Thanks for looking Chisilda.
Nice thread giving the FF a bit of therapy from all the recent 'geeky' stuff.

The great thing about this thread is that everyone can join in on equal terms .

The more I look at that coffee cream, the more I think it's destined to be a classic - paradoxically this is perhaps more likely if it's unpopular & doesn't sell well. A bit like Topaz Mist on the Fig:

Looks like these are the colours my dealer was on about today when we ordered our Panda.

Should have read this thread first before posting "helpful" news!

The blue looks very Volare like to me - it's a pastel colour, and always appears very bright in Fiat's brochures and docs etc.

I can see a bit of Volare Blue and Cha Cha Azure IMO - almost like they poured both in together and mixed it up to create that colour.

Awesome news

But really needs a Green

Still the colours choices still lag behind available those in the US
