It reminds me a bit of Cool Blue.:nod:

Exactly. Just a touch darker and maybe a little tint of purple in it. Could have called it New Cool Blue.

I really like it, would prefer a white roof though...

ooooh! thanks for posting~ I like it with the black roof. :thumbsup:

I would agree on that.

Thanks for the posting, a very beuatiful shade of blue. However IMHO, I don't especially like that door edge guard; while practical, I think it detracts from the aesthetics of the body line. :nod:

Nope, not liking it. Too gray and dull but that might just be because the pictures speaking.

Nice pics and thanks for posting them MinLes. :thumbsup:

I guess that these photos just go to prove that like previous MINI colors the new Horizon Blue (HZB) has a bit of chameleon DNA in it. :lol:

Under differing amounts of light (e.g. full sunlight, shade, twilight, etc.) the color seems to take on a different character (compare them to the Chicago Auto show pics of HZB in a related thread). I have to agree with the consensus that it very much resembles Cool Blue (CB) but again it has overtones of other colors (as stated by CR&PW&JB where he says, "...maybe a little tint of purple in it."). :nod:

Darn if this just doesn't keep me guessing... I will have to excercise patience until I see it in person. :impatient:

you do realize that door guard is just temporary and is removed by the dealer prior to delivery to the owner, right ?

Now that's a Mini Ha-Ha!:lol:

Yep - it does look a lot like a darker Cool Blue. I'll be curious to see it in person and find out if it's a pearlescent paint like Cool Blue, or if it's just a metallic.

Yea, those pictures are in the shade and I don't think are very telling. I'd like to see it in various lights.

Love it! Def my next color. March 2010 can't come fast enough.

I did not know that the door guard was temporary. I look forward every day to learning something new. This qualifies as a new thing for me today.

Thanks! :)

All I've seen is a sample in the showroom. It just looked metallic to me, but I'd never be one to underestimate the nuances of these metallic paints. :nod:

looks like my car have a sibling ...hahaha..in terms of colors.

MinLes thanks for the pictures mine came out of the factory today so I hope to see it in 3 or 4 weeks. My dealer will have a unsold car next week but I trying to deside if I want to see it on that car or wait for my car to come in and see if for the first time.

We have a couple that came in a few days ago. I'm starting to like it after seeing it every day.

could you post some pics? i'd be very appreciative... :wink: not sure how... but I promise I would be~:grin:

Please let us know which pictures the real cars look like.

I couldn't find oxygen blue at the MiniUSA site . I guess it's been discontinued?
:sad:

It's still there for the Cooper hardtop. It's not available for the S.
