p6x Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 As a user of photo and designer's application, I use colors a lot. Each color is easily represented by HTML or HEX color codes. I could easily upload a Tenni photo in my app. and get the color shown in the photo. But this is not the most accurate way. Unfortunately, most paint makers do not provide the exact color code to the public. Of course not! The color is always referenced to their own product catalogue. Maybe the V100S Green is the same as the Tenni? I am going to send them an email to verify if I can get a color code rather than a Lechler product reference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carcano's racing management in the late '40s and '50s. It has been said that Carcano was so obsessed with weight that he forbade painting the race bikes. Metal was left in the raw state or primed, commonly with zinc chromate (which exhibits a more greenish-yellow, perhaps the 'reference" for the metallic "Legnano Green " applied to the original Telaio Rosso V7 Sport of early to mid '70s and, later, at the introduction of the V11 Sport). What we commonly call "Tenni Green" is a luscious, rich satin spruce green (more blue-green than yellow-green) introduced on the 2002 V11 Tenni. Since then, this rich, spruce green has been applied to Stelvio, Griso, Centenary Special Editions, and now the V100 Mandello (although that "Mandello Green" looks decidedly glossier) . . . Perhaps it has become as enigmatic of "Guzzi" as our v-twin? I wonder if it is only the V11 community that refers to this as "Tenni Green?" 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reply! It seems those companies providing an email for inquiries are no longer monitoring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
