id go for a darksih metallic silver/anthracite sort of colour.... or maybe even a really deep midnight blue? 

 

in fact i think a dark wine red could be a good one

tweed grey.. tis a lovely colour!

 

goes well with black, and red!

 

But... if you are into lairy colours like purple and Focus ST Orange :X .. then you probably wouldn't appreciate it ;)

I really do like the tweed grey, and the yukon grey. I also think they would look nice with the black and red.

 

I have however now started to look at the aqua blue, as a product of this thread, i hadnt even considered blues or greens if im honest.

 

my shortlist is grey, aqua blue, or tundra green.

 

as i decided im also gonna get my seats and door cards re covered in black.

Grey is a nice suggestion. Red and green are complementary (opposite) on a colour wheel, so should work well together provided you select the right combo.

White with a black roof is one of my favourite colour combinations. And white can pretty much go with anything, especially black and red. :proud:

Black interior leaves you with a lot more options! Personally I prefer earlier mini colours and I had forgotten the lovely greys! (which is surprising as my car is basically a grey silver)

Its good how so many people have had input on this thread.

 

I have been to see the retrim guy, im gonna have black interior coverings, so inside will all be black, except headliner, im keeping that cream as i think black will be too enclosing. and the cabs small enough.

 

Im pretty sure im going to go with grey exterior, yukon grey is a fave at the moment.

 

although, aqua blue is still a potential wildcard. I booked the car in for the bodywork and respray in april, so ive got a bit of time to decide, and a mini show to go to for some inspiration before hand.

 

Thanks everyone.
