Stock Colors?

Can anyone tell me all of the stock colors that the 2002 cooper was available in? I have looked online but can't find any info. I only wonder because my mini is a color that I haven't seen on a mini before but it looks like stock paint. IDK.
Any info would help.

My mini is almost a mint green btw.

That would be Silk Green. Classy color

From my copy of the 2002 brochure:

Jet Black, Chili Red, Liquid Yellow, Cosmos Black, Dark Silver, Pure Silver, British Racing Green, Silk Green, Electric Blue, and Indi Blue.

Its weird though that I haven't found any mention of that particular color anywhere else.

Wait a minute. What year was Velvet Red introduced? The brochure I got the list from doesn't have the year listed but I'm pretty sure it's a 2002. I got it at the NY autoshow when the MINI was displayed at the lobby and not on the regular show floor.

Just a thought however....why don't silk green owners have a badge? Is it that rare to see or has it just not been done....it makes me sad. =(

I would think sometime on '02. It was discontinued in the summer of '03. I don't recall if my '03 brochure (basically an '02 brochure) showed Velvet Red or not, and it's not handy.

If you mean a badge that can be used in a sig, there are two of them on the first post in this thread:

It's a lovely color.

Excellent! Thank you.
I would really love to find a badge like that for my car though. Maybe like a grille badge.

Silk Green is my number TWO favorite MINI color... very unique!

Maybe it will make a comeback for my next one, but it had a very short "life" first time around...
