I had the Idea to take a Poll an which colors BadMini should be hit with? This is a long term project for next winter and the choices are so many! I know I want HouseofKolor paint, http://www.houseofkolor.com/ . Looking for ideas, I have been told that even with an eye for design, I see color poorly. I would like to keep the black fenders but with effect and the body in the blue , teal, or burgundy zones.  I will post a few of my favorites at later dates, once the car is up and running. Hope to see yall out and about.  Grin

Not an expert with colours but I do photography for my main hobby so I think I deserve a say.
Although, It all depends what you want.
Here's my subjective opinion.
I personally don't like blue on MINI although it is popular.
The only reason is because the colour blue on MINI makes it a bit toy-ish.
Unlike red, where many sports car have on, the blue MINI uses is toy-ish colour although
they tried their best by making it metallic blue, which made it less toy-ish but I still think it's alot like
toy. Some people like it because it's toy-ish and MINI is a small car like a toy so it's a personal choice.
In general, Black and Red goes well and Chilli-red from MINI is a good dark red.
Yellow from MINI isn't my type at all. I've seen it around and it looks a bit old, not outstanding but
if you like yellow, that's the choice you have.
Black from MINI have blue-ish in it. You see the black MINI under the bright sun, you will see
purplish black. I like black alot and totally personal preference but many people will think
black is just boring.
Grey/Silver is also a good colour but can be very boring.
As for the trend, ivory-white is huge now. This is especially good if you mix with pearl but then it can get little pricey. But this trend is just starting, so it will last a bit. (Blue is/was trend).


If you are keeping black fenders, I would suggest to go with mono-tone colors (black, white, grey)
but as I mentioned before, red goes well with black or any dark color goes well with black.
Black is almost like universal colour combination.

In conclusion, my recommendation?
Ivory white with pearl.

Definitely, girls like it and more of female targetted colour but there's nothing wrong with guy driving it.
Stands out, and following the trend, and looks good and I think it will look good with black fenders.
In addition, whatever wheels you are planning on having on your BadMini, silver or black will go well with it since black fenders + white goes well with either black or silver wheel.

My recommendation is only for exterior, I didn't even think about interior.
I wood avoid wooden interior since that's just not right in Mini.
Unless you are chasing for the classic look.

But back to square, it's all up to you.

Hope my advice helped you!
