New Colors - Blackeye Purple

Anybody see the new colors yet? I love the Blackeye Purple color! The transparent is a joke, I hope. http://www.mini.com/com/en/mini_coop..._s/content.jsp

I've judged to many color options on cars too many times just by looking at pics. Now I have to actually see the color combo in person before I pass judgement, 'cause most of the time, pics don't do it justice. Seen a few of the Hyper Blue, and Black-Eye Purple, and it changes soo much.
Cheers,

I'll second that, madman. I've seen dozens of BEPH (Black-eye Purple is Purple Haze in the US) and I STILL don't know what color it is! Have to wait to see it in person. Given that Indi blue on the current configurator looks nothing like Indi blue in person, I'd have to say the configs give 'stylistic impressions' of the real colors. I LOVE the invisible color. It's no joke. They developed it specially for Wonder Woman, so she can drive it to her invisible jet!

Looks pretty damn purple.

Black Eye Purple + Hyper Blue = Indi Blue?

Yup, Hyper Blue seems a pretty safe choice, but Purple Haze is hard to pin down. I have my hunches but it will be very interesting to see in person. IB has a lot of depth and seems to vary in different light, I expect purple haze is similar and that's why its so illusive. BRG is probably similarly nuanced but I've heard here that all those cars have build issues.

haven't been to their site for a while... that transparent color is pretty funny.
