Color Experts?

Can anyone tell me which color this is? Green? Gray? Or is it Coffee in a dark light?



I think it's a great looking combination, but it looks different from the pix of Gray and Green that I've seen before.

Agreed, but in person, it doesn't look like that. That picture looks more like hot chocolate. In person the color is much more gray/silver/brown.

That's the European Configurator's (really bad) representation of Light Coffee... Far too dark.

Check the countryman photos thread and look for Mr Bickles. He's that color and these posts are correct. NOT that dark.

The pictures here seem a little on the dark and the light side, the color I remember from the brief Countryman visitation during MINIs in the Mountains was more like this:

Here's a link I found showing the color:

As with other CM colors, it seems to change with different lighting.

Thanks much - that collection of pix is about the best I've ever seen Light Coffee look! The black roof and silver wheels work well.

Thanks again.
