Signature color for the new Crossman?

What's to be the signature color for the Crossman? Anyone thought of that?

My take on the signature colors of the current crop of minis:
"New" Mini: Chili Red with a white roof
Mini Convertible: Orange, with a navy roof
Clubman: Hot Chocolate
R56: Oxygen blue? That yellow? There are a few...
2007 Mini Convertible: Limey Green

So... what color would be the signature color? Why? What do you think? Oh - and if you're not pleased unless you're criticizing (you know who you are, but aren't happy about it ), what colors should be avoided? Photoshopping gets extra credit... reasoning behind the color (or "colour") gets even more credit!

Note: This isn't a thread for complaints about Mini to diluting the brand, introducing a gas hogging crossover or anything like that. That subject's played out. It's coming out, it's the essence of Mini in a crossover. Let's embrace it as a way Mini can stay profitable and continue to support our cars - and help Mini avoid the dreaded "greige" colors!

I have some color opinions, but want to hear what YOU think!

I like to think Chili Red, but I'm a wee bit biased.

I could see the blue, or maybe a desert matte sand...

Since it's some sort of SUV thing how about a tan/brown/yellow color like used on the Camel Trophy Landrovers, it's like British Racing Green for dirt.

The "Oxymoron" should be in a silver. Why not be exactly like the Porche Cayanne?
