Visited a dealer recently and saw the Nightfire Red which was lovely. Comes close to the Maroon maybe?
I also looked at Oxygen Blue in person... SWEET!
Unfortunately they are Cooper colors not available on the MCS and I'm looking to get an "S".
I think that the MINI looks good in any color BUT IMHO, what MINI/BMW needs to do is to add more non-metallic color choices.
I'd love to see Alpine White, a true British Racing Green, McLaren Orange, and French Racing Blue!
What we don't really need is another shade of grey, although it would be nice to see Royal Grey make another appearance as it was a unique color that was short lived.
C'mon MINI/BMW, if you're reading these boards take note!

I'd be willing to chide and ridicule the lot of you for your delusional wishing into existance of new MINI colors, but...............I myself did the same thing long enough and loud enough to finally yield what was to me the ultimate color of my MINI dreams...Oxygen Blue.
So, based on this, I can do nothing but encourage your efforts and wish you victory!!!!!

Sure looks like the same... Since the vast majority of all MINI's were special order in 2003 and the color just doesn't display well on the configurator charts not many people hit the select button and the color was soon dropped. I noticed the same thing on the BMW site. You really need to see the color in the sun to appreciate it. Lots of MINI folks hated this 'brown" color. My favorite quote was "any color but brown." Ah well, good thing I bought it for me. Most MINI's are like ugly children and end up being loved anyway.

Burgundy sounds good. I saw a burgundy and orange paint job on a classic car (a Delahaye, IIRC) at Pebble Beach a few years back. It was pretty hot. So, MINI would have to do an orange roof.
How about starting black at the bottom and fading up through 256 shades of gray to a white roof? Photographers would like it.
The color I would like would be Crimson -- like Chili Red, but with just a touch of blue to give it a richer color.
