Pick a color, any color..

What color does Mini NOT offer that you wish they did?

One rule though: It cannot be a color that has once existed, but is now discontinued. It must be original.



Mine would definitely have to be a bright, snow-like white color, non-metallic.

Yours?

I like the color selection they've got ... I particularly like the new Horizon Blue.
I just wish I could flip 'em around like the interior courtesy lights!

ORANGE...a real orange similar to the Range Rover Orange or the Audi Orange. No metallic Orange...true orange...just like Jet Black was true Black. Astro Black is not true black, it's metallic black.

Nissan offered a 'pewter' color a few years ago that looks really rich. I'd like to see it on a MINI.

I have really wanted to see:
A true non-metallic White
Orange and a brighter green would be really nice

Most of all though, I have been wondering about Laguna Seca Blue for the MINI. Oxygen Blue doesn't even come close, plus, it is only offered on the Justa's.

This is predictable but a nice deep Fightin' Texas Aggie Maroon. Nightfire red comes close but it needs to be more rich and a little darker. But i guess I am biased

Like the F1 Mclarens? That silver or peuter or whatever they call it is a great quasi-color.



BTW, Deloreans were SS.

For Alpine White... but know it's a pipe dream.

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.
