So the time has come to decide on the colour for the mini, I have narrowed the thousands of colours down to 2, finally!
Tweed grey or smoke grey.
Please can you post your pictures of minis in either colour below.
Thank you
Jack

Any screen is not going to give you true representation of the actual colour. I like Tweed Grey, it has a tiny hint of green in it (at least to my eyes).

That's true I'm just really struggling to decide.

Yeah it does have a slight green tone looks great with a black roof, where as smoke grey is more of a light blue.
