BTW, Deloreans were SS.

Same difference.

Yesterday I saw a Smart with a very, very nice metallic red/orangeish hue color that would look great on a MINI.

I would like to see more solid no cost ($0) colors than profit center metallic paints:

Bring back a real Jet Black
Offer a real solid British Racing Green
Offer an appealing Yellow paint
Offer a nice solid blue color

I'd like a metallic emerald green - much darker than the old Silk Green, but lighter than the current BRG.

I'd also like the option of a semi-gloss black (with corresponding price discount), kind of like Ducati has done with some of their motorcycles.

I wonder what the percentage of difference is between people that bought "Pepper White" because they LOVED the color and those that bought it because there simply wasn't any other pure white option?

I would love a creamy pure white but would be willing to take a metallic pure white. They could just call it something else... like SNOW.
Yeah, Alpine White is just a dream for many. I think the white you are looking for is Polar White.

Ooooh... yeah that sounds good too! Whatever they'd like to call it... I don't even care. When I look in the garage and see "Alpine White" next to "Pepper White"...well.... But then, she just has that great big smile that's hard not to love!

Surfink- is Blackberry Crush a real color? If not, how do you see it? I'm picturing something really beautiful!
(*Just saw this "BC" is a Scion color... is that what you are talking about?)

Yeah, I'm surprised BMW hasn't come out with a real white color. In the end Pepper White is not a bad color at all, and when they're washed and waxed, they look stunning !!!!

I've only seen pictures of the 'retired' Solar Red but I would have picked it for my 09 Clubman S if it were available.

I would like to see a burnt orange, deep and non metallic. I love orange, and I can't wear it, so I would love to drive it!

+1 on the pure white - flat, metallic, pearlized, whatever. I'd be fine with any of them!

I'd also like to see a bright sky blue, and an almost-Crayola-green.

Blackberry crush is a Scion color, my father got an XB in it and it looks like black @ night and a rich Burgundy in the day...

The mini brand is 50yrs old this year and if you look at some of the colours for the mini in the 1960's they are mostly solid like red,blue,green,brown even then there was no pure white mini it was called "old english white" and this is the same colour as pepper white on todays mini.

I like the OE White on the Classic (if I had one). Think they used Snowberry too. Ahh... now I'm thinking about Classics again.
