I've fallen in love with the almond green color that I saw on a Mini at a show recently. Unfortunately, I didn't know at the time that there were two different variants of almond green. Could someone educate me on the differences, and possibly post some photos to compare the earlier and later variants?

The earlier Almond green is a little darker and less 'creamy' in my opinion.

I'm not sure thats even Almond green to be honest.

Maybe a rare varient, but I dont recognise it as Almond green.

Hmm, I just read another thread that had a question about this car and what color it was. Seemed the consensus was that it also was almond green, but looks quite different than the others that you guys posted. Would you say that this one is also almond green, or is it possibly cumberland green? If almond, does it change that much due to lighting differences?

That is a stunning mini that Ive seen at a few shows.

Its definately Almond green as it is what inspired me to do mine that colour.

Its had a few small pictures in one of the mini magazine, dont know if its had a feature though.

Its got really awesome side exit exhausts that the floor had to be made round.

Its a stunner!!
