I am watching...waiting...for something on the new non-metallic Cooper-only blue. If it turns out to be anything close to my all-time favorite classic Mini color (Island Blue) I may have to dive into a new MINI sooner than I'd planned.

No matter what color, White, Off White, Egg Shell, or Ivory, what better way to meet chicks. Maybe better in Pink, I drive a MINI / mini. I'm not compensating for anything....

They already offer that in Astro Black.

From a distance it is black and as you get closer you see the silver and blue undertones.

If a Mini were that color, you'd have a hard time looking at it. I have a friend with a "dayglow orange" motorcycle jacket and he's really hard to follow. The orange just hurts after a while.

That coming from someone who drives an orange car....
