It seems that they're using the names of artists in their new car colours in this range - colours being so important as an integral part of the design

well, artists and other eminent colour-related people!
they have a Peyrano brown (or chocolate) and a Vasari Pearl

In the Lancia Musa, the interior/exterior relationship is enhanced by the presence (as standard on the Platino specification) of an exclusive 'GranLuce' glass sunroof. This solution means that the inside and outside are treated as part of a single environment or, if you prefer, as a lounge with adjoining terrace. All the colour combinations have been chosen with care to create sophisticated and original solutions.

This car sees the introduction of two exterior shades that are completely new to the Lancia range and created by the Lancia Style Centre to express the values of the Musa project to the full: the shades 'Vasari Pearl' and 'Peyrano chocolate'. The name of Peyrano is intended as homage to a true artist of Italian hospitality and gastronomy.

On the outside, the new version stands out for the bodywork colours, which are the most elegant in the range (Rossini Grey, Vasari Pearl, Angelico Light blue and Stradivarius Mink), but above all for the exclusive option of twin-tone bodywork, with the roof, pillars and tailgate painted a stylish metallic brown - a touch of originality and class that sets off the clean, harmonious exterior line perfectly. A car from the 'b-colore' family is on display in Frankfurt, sporting Stradivarius Mink combined with Caravaggio Brown, an elegant, timeless combination that is reiterated in the lovely interior. This is decorated with the refinement and exclusiveness that are synonymous with the best Lancia tradition; a stylish lounge upholstered in leather (available in ivory or brown) on the seats and the door panels, finished with contrasting piping and overstitching, with the Musa logo on the head-restraint. The pattern on the piping is repeated on the leather armrests on the door panels.

If just describing it I'd say dusky pink or something like that

Explanation:
Gentile Powder puff
beige-pink
Gentile pink


Cipria is face powder... and it comes in a variety of shades!
Gentileschi refers probably to someone who "invented" the shade.
I woudl imagine this is a beigey-pink shade but that still leaves a lot of space for the imagination

Just saw the shade Lancia uses - not very pink, it's quite beigey. What about "powder beige" ?

neutral  Katherine Zei: Please don't put "gentile"!! Caso mai "gentle" (sorry Shera). A "gentile" is what Jewish people call Christians. :)) I'm sure it was just a typo. ciao, K

  -> you're right! thanks.
disagree  Sarah Ponting: Where do you get "Gentile" (or even "gentle") from? Gentileschi refers to the Baroque painters Orazio and his daughter Artemisia

1 day 3 hrs

agree  Catherine Bolton: It refers to the painter Artemisia Gentileschi (could be Orazio, but since it's pink ...), given their artsy color names this yr like Caravaggio Brown.
