The paint colour code on the plate under the bonnet of my Mini is WEF and I can find no reference to this anywhere on the internet. I have trawled through loads of sites but have found nothing. The car is dark green with an old english white roof and has not had a colour change at any stage in it's life. It is a 2000 model year Cooper (I'm told that it could be a limited edition model of just 300 but the jury is still out on that one). It looks like British Racing Green but I have found no reference anywhere of BRG being given the code WEF. If anyone can help me with this I would be most grateful. It does seem to be much darker than Brooklands Green so I'm pretty certain it's not that.

your best bet is to ask your local paint shop! they will have all Paint codes listed on their database

Paint code sounded wrong but i checked it and it is a twin code..

They are very old colours that have been re-introduced.

year 2000 onwards

Basically it links to 2 colours.

Brooklands Green (Solid) I take it it's not metallic - Paint code HYF

and Old English White - paint code NUD

Let me know if you have trouble getting these colours,
I can have them custom mixed for you and put into aerosols..


That goes for almost any colour
