If I was ordering one I would have a hard time deciding between British Racing Green with black accents and Pepper White with black accents.

I'm a big fan of White Silver. Just gives it a very clean look.

I love the white silver with white stripes look (but I already have a white car) and had I ordered my MINI, it would have been Thunder Gray with Black stripes and red mirror caps, wheel caps, and side scuttles. But couldn't pass on the Carbon.

White Silver w/white roof/mirrors. Actually, I had hoped that BMW would custom paint like Porsche for me, but would not. I would have chosen either Pearl Yellow or Candy Apple Red........

British Racing Green because of the extra 5 MPH top end...as the dealer explained to me...because of the "racing".

Ya know, motoring around down and seeing Mini's in a variety of colors, I have not seen one that I didn't find appealing. Perhaps it's the car and not so much the color.

I went with British Racing Green with black top and stripes which was the only option i really wanted. Now I think maybe I would have liked Green with a white top. But I still the the green/black suits me best.

Most colors look great on the Mini--I ended up buying a leftover 2015 white silver (had all the options I wanted), with black wheels and roof with JCW red mirror caps. Subtle, but the color has really grown on me. Also love the BRG with black roof.

Glad others like Volcanic Orange too. I'd have mine with vanilla icing (white) on top, hold the sun roof please.

Glad they brought orange / yellow back; had an '02 Cooper black-over-yellow, then a BTO '03 S that was white/yellow followed by a BTO (POS) '07 S dressed the same.

Pondering a '16 Cooper now for the improved engine mostly, trade off my black/white '13 Clubman.
