I have seen this awesome color and it doesn't seem to come in stock colors for the MC and MCS... has anyone else seen an icy light blue on these cars? Am I missing out on something? I have seen it twice on the road and I am wondering where its coming from? Maybe someone just repainted their mini when they got it?
Fill me in please!

Is it the electric blue mini?

It does seem like an icy blue. Looks kind of like the ocean in tahiti.

Where did you see this mystery colour. Good chance it was just electic blue under interesting lighting conditions. I've read (and seen at the dealer) that it changes colour fairly significantly under different lighting. Must be the metalic. Then again you may have just seen something completely new and if so we must investigate!

In the UK we have Silk Green which is about to be replaced by Gold, the burgandy colour is actually called Velvet Red.
