It would be very nice if MINI/BMW were to add more non-metallics to their colour pallete. 
Sigh... I am afraid though that this will never occur as MINI/BMW loves to reap that extra $500 for metallic paint.
So, what would I love to see on a MINI... Are you listening MINI/BMW?
Here are my suggestions...
Penske/Sunoco Blue
McLaren Orange
A true British Racing Green
Would also love to see Alpine White and French Racing Blue...
I guess that I will just keep on dreaming... ahh... yeah that's so nice...

Add me to the list for Orange.
I can't beleive multiple people listed Laguna Seca Blue. I'm a multiple BMW owner and that is not one that looks good on a Bimmer. It would be better suited for a MINI I suppose.
Estoril Blue stays an M color.

If it's the same color I'm thinking of, my old Altima was that color - I really liked it, it was different and it never looked dirty. It was a lot more "bronze" than the other "pewters" I've seen which look more like dark silver with some gold in them.

Me too - saw a pair of bright orange Elises today. I think the MINI would look fantastic in that color.

I've loved this color since I first saw it on an early 90's ford escort. It's not quite barbie pink, it catches the light and looks violet in places. It's just a really neat color. I even managed to find a nail polish in this color called "Pompeii Purple". I agree though that it really is more of a magenta.
If my MINI ever needs to be resprayed, I will probably take the nail polish into where ever I'm having it painted and ask them to color match to it.
