R56 Pros and cons of black Minis
I'm all in on this one. Astro is a phenomenal color....looks black from 20' away, even looks clean when dirty from 10'....then as you get to it in the light it takes on a nice deep midnight blue tone.
And I did my white roof with NO sunroof, so I don't have any issues with heat during the summer, even with black leather interior (window tint helps).
When I was selecting colors, I had a wide open mind. Got to the dealership, saw every color, and (I already had red and white vehicles) was thinking silver. Then, like others have expressed here, I saw the fender trim, and when I saw it altogether with Astro Black....that's all it took.

And regardless, these cars are small enough that you can detail/clean them up pretty fast.
