Roll Call - Favorite MINI Color?

What's your favorite MINI color over the three generations, and is it on your MINI or elsewhere?

Plus, does your MINI have a name?

My color: Pure Silver Metallic. Kinda partial to British Racing Green because of the heritage of Cooper in Formula 1 and at Indy. Of course, there's Chili Red . . .

No name yet for my R53

I like the dark blue color best, but the used one I just bought is dark green. Why anyone would name their car is beyond me....

I bought mine from the dealers inventory. It's white over iced chocolate. I like it well enough but there are a lot of Mini colors I like.

Moonwalk gr/red combo - don't own it sadly.
Wife has electric blue, named Blue Belle.
Son has my old Royal Grey, never named it as cars don't get names and don't have souls, but I am a Grinch.

Favorite color is Indi Blue which wasn't available after '04, so I went with Hyper Blue. I usually don't name cars, but it seems to be a MINI thing. After 5 years I decided to add some graphics and it became Little 15.

I LOVE the color of mine in its Lightning Blue. It is EXACTLY the color of the Caribbean Sea on a bright day and just makes me happy looking at it! I also really like the Chocolate brown color when it's matched with a silver roof.

No, my car doesn't have a name... yet. I have a feeling it will end up with one though.

I LOVE Mellow Yellow and Electric Blue. Haven't owned either yet. I've had Chili Red, Pepper White and now Dark Silver.

I'm on my third Mini. So far I've had an Indi Blue, Lightning Blue and now an 05 Hyper Blue. Indi Blue was my favourite.

If I was to buy a new mini it would either be Electric Blue or Chili Red, both with a white roof.

My first two Minis didn't have names, but my current one named himself the first day that I got him. Flew across the country to pick him up and on the way home I hit a rabbit on the highway, so his name now is Bugs

Favourite colour has to be Silk Green, never had one in Silk Green but if I could find one with the matching green leather interior, I'd have it in a heartbeat. If I had to chose, I'd probably have it with a white roof.



I've owned Pure Silver, Chili Red, Cosmos Black and now Dark Silver. Strangely none of those would be my first choice, but I do now love my Dark Silver/White.

I have Horizon Blue, with a Tuscan Beige interior. Its kind of an unusual blue, not common on other brands, and with the Tuscan beige the combo works well.

Black Eye Purple is a great color... too bad MINI USA had to be PC and call it Purple Haze Metallic.

I'm really fond of British Racing Green. I'm glad I found mine in that color. I like most of the blue offerings, especially the Checkmate Blue (not sure the official name).

Mine is named Rupert.

"Carson" is Moonwalk Gray with black wheels, mirror caps, roof and spoiler.


In case anyone is confused, Carson is on the left. Dylan is on the right.

Moonwalk hands down for me. Not my color but the silver white is growing on me. Red Baron is the name.

Best ever. I wish I could have got this exact look sans the stripes. Looks awesome.

Space Blue is what Checkmate's normally came in. I thought it was the only color for Checkmate's, but I've seen Hyper Blue, Pure Silver, Dark Silver, and Pepper White, too.

Space Blue is def what I'm thinking of. I've seen Pepper White in Checkmate, I wonder if other colors have just added a graphic. I've considered putting them on mine.
