What is the name of the color that is on the 2nd gen MS that looks like a light mint green metallic color?

I have seen this color recently driving near my house several times and never saw it before and its deff the new generation. Its a regular coupe and not an S.

Thanks

 

I believe the color you're referring to is "Silk Green Metallic", a Cooper only color, no longer available...and my all-time favorite!!! (I hope they bring it back!)

 

This the one?

 

Could be talking about the sparkling silver.

 

I actually think its lighter then the one pictured, but it could just be sunlight in the picture vs real thing

when was that color available?

my wife wants this color bad

 

Silk Green was a 1st Gen color and discontinued in March 2003.

Here's one with a black roof ...

 

To my eye, it's always been lighter/softer than the two pictured as well, though I do think it's just the lighting playing tricks on us. Very rare and classy color!

 

well its not the silk green then because this is a deff a gen 2 copper. i think i might have to stalk the owner this weekend...i know the general area they live

could you order them from factory in special colors, or only select colors?

 

Yes, it could be Sparkling Silver.

 

You could do a search. You could look through the gallery section.

The only reason I said sparkling silver is a friend of mine recently ordered a MINI. When I asked him what color he ordered, he told me the light green color. I thought hmmm didn't even know there was a light green. When I asked him the color name, he said sparkling silver. After I thought about it I thought, yah I guess in certain light conditions it could look greenish after all it is a metalic.

I would do a search of sparkling silver and British Racing green although the BRG is very dark and doesn't sound like what you are referring to.
