Grigio Telesto

Grigio Telesto is a Lamborghini paint color that first appeared on the Gallardo Superleggera in 2006 and later on the Murciélago. At first glance it can appear like a solid grey, but it is actually a pearlescent/metallic finish. Up close, the subtle metallic flake gives it a unique depth and texture, distinguishing it from lighter uni greys like Nardo Grey.

The name has a mythological and astronomical origin, drawn from Greek mythology and the moon of Saturn discovered in 1980. This reflects Lamborghini’s tradition of connecting paint names to epic, historical, or celestial references.

Grigio Telesto quickly became a popular choice among Lamborghini customers and remains offered today. Its appeal has extended to other brands: Porsche adopted it in their Paint to Sample program as Grigio Telesto Metallic for the Panamera and later the 911, while BMW Individual has offered it on numerous models as Grigio Telesto Pearl. Audi has also featured the color, though less frequently.
