Oooooo....Nice combo. I like it.

 

Love my PH/W


Here we have PH, HP, LY and EB

 

I saw one of these just west of Chicago just yesterday. I was un-sure about when PH was pulled so I thought I was seeing things. I go over there often so I will keep the camera handy.

 

Not Mine but a good example of a Silk Green. Its Brian Whites from Fireballed....

 

Found another Example. Velvet Red. IMHO a really nice color.

Man, I LOVE that velvet red!

 

I've never seen a velvet red in person. From pictures it looks a lot like the Night Fire Red. Is it as close to it as it looks?

 

I've never seen a velvet red in person either. I think it's darker than the NFR but I'd love to see the two next to each other.

 

Velvet red can go toward a dark walnut brown in some conditions. I understand 30 or so MINIs were painted a chocolate brown for some Hershey's giveaway. There's a velvet red around town and every time I see it my first reaction is 'a Hershey's car!"

I really like Silk Green, I'd go for something like that for MINI #2, if they don't make an Oregon State Beaver Orange.

 

That velvet red picture with the roof rack is my car...

 

Here's my '06 Hyper Blue and Silver Baby the day I brought her home!

 

Isn't Velvet Red AKA the Dr. Pepper Mini?

 

03 INDI BLUE / WHITE

 

Nice

 

I really like the Silver roof option! I think my favorite retired color is Hot Orange! If they still had it, I would have had a really tough choice deciding if I wanted to go that route or with my Laser Blue (which I love ).

That Silk Green is weird...I would love to see more photos of that! Space Blue is pretty sweet looking with the silver roof.

 

THANKS !

You'll see it in person next Saturday... bringing it to MoT. Looks slightly different now though.

 

Here is an early shot of my car, it shows what EB/W can really do.

 

*sigh* Someday if something horrible were to happen and Clara were to need a full paint job, THIS would be it...

t's funny I really liked the Gold and the Silk green
They're both such great classic compact car colors. The silk green reminds me of the robin egg blue that bugs used to come in, and the gold brings back memories of my dad's omni (the earliest family car I can clearly remeber)

My minis BRG/w not because it was my favorite color on the car but because I felt like getting any other color was like buying a Ferrari in any color other then red.

My favorite mini color combo is the royal gray with the black top and stripes (even better I saw one at MTS in DC with a grayscale british flag top)

 

Here is a more recent one of my silk green... changed a little from the picture above
