    Naturally, my SE is the best colour. Some of you heathens may disagree, though.
    So let's see where people put their money!
    Yes, I know there are 2x black, 2x green, 2x white and maybe others. I thought I'd keep it simple, though.

    British racing green for the proletariat, Rebel green for the aristocracy.
    White silver metallic and Nanuq white.

    I knew about Nanuq and BRG, but didn't know the SE came in rebel green or white silver.

    I'm really surprised they don't offer it in electric yellow.
     
  6. We only have Midnight Black, Island Blue, BRG and Chili Red here in NZ.

    And we have the Midnight Black with the chrome badges the only chrome, and the only yellow together with the wheel centre caps.

    What is the worst color today is the most desired in a dozen years. Look at the love the peridot green Cayman Rs now get. If I put one in our garage, I would be sleeping in the garage with the car - not by choice.

    Rebel Green is available when you get the Mini Cooper SE Resolute edition

    Nanuq white replaced White Silver and was announced in October of this year. We picked up our White Silver 10 days ago, and at that time, our MA said they haven't received a color sample for Nanuq White at the dealership yet.

    I'm pretty sure Nanuq white is just BMW Mineral White.

    I saw a really nice 20th Anniversary Pepper White Hardtop at the dealer this morning. I think Pepper White is an all-time classic color, too bad MINI's dropping it.

    I believe it is polar white.
    But that's just not Zappa enough for a hip Mini driver, though.

    I've wanted a BRG mini for 40 years. The new BRG is close enough.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    I mentioned to a buddy that I picked up a '10 base cooper in an oddball silver/gold. He describes the early 80s BMW color. I show him a picture from under the hood, and we agree. Mini Sparkling Silver Metallic is probably the same as the gold "Bronzit-Beige" BMWs of the 80s.

    Not the one I bought. Ours is a base.

    You be the judge of the Countryman SE untamed in Nanuq white if it is more metallic or not. The M3 is mineral white and the 3 series is alpine white.

    Every SE you saw in the 2019 press introductions/reviews was White Silver.

    But are they white or are they silver?

    Personally I consider them a gray, not a white.

    My M Roadster was Alpine White (Buyer has it in his garage next to his M1). When I went to a paint shop for touch up I learned there are 4 or 5 alpine whites. We laid the chips on the hood and you saw the difference. You wouldn't notice it without the chips next to each other. Add metallic to the mix and we have "Houston, we have a cluster."

    My car is "white silver" but it doesn't look white at all. It is definitely just silver.

    My 2014 Clubman is "white silver metallic", and it is definitely not gray, silver, nor white. From a distance it might be mistaken for silver, but it can look almost light blue in the sun. I personally don't like the color, but it's unique.

    Wow, this thread took off. I'm a little surprised to see green and grey neck and neck. Which begs the question. Why would Mini discontinue one of the most popular colours?

    Now, for the real question. Will the J01 be available in Octarine?
