Wife Color Awareness?
Just how aware of other Mini colors is your spouse? The wife and I were driving to my parents this weekend and she noticed a "new" color it was Royal Grey which she properly noticed as brown 
Made me wonder, how many colors can your spouse (non-mini owning only please) recognize?

I have no wife but in random conversations friends might mention "blue" MINIs...to which I ask, "which blue?...indi, electric, hyper, cool, or space." Or they'll say "red"...to which I respond, "which red?...chili, velvet, or solar. They stare...their jaw drops...they roll their eyes...they say "whatever"...they walk away..........it's become all so predictable.
as the unofficial "wife" of Agokart, I think I'm pretty good... I know ALL my colors- including Hyper Pink, British Racing Pink and Frosted Stellar pink

My hubby is fantastic at spotting MINIs, but I have no clue about his color-awareness.....

My wife and two kids have been "trained" to spot and call out the color combination and model whenever a MINI is spotted. My 8 y.o. son is best with remembering colors, but I think my wife knows all but Royal Grey and Solor Red.
As an aside, we've also managed to teach most of my wife's car-pool friends to spot MINI's. They, however, have not yet mastered the full color palette.

My wife might not know many of the colors but the wife did turn me off from the original color I wanted - pepper white. Everytime she saw one she called it beige and said it was not pretty. ..but since she will be paying for half of it, what could I do ...I went with black
