Really like the dark green on the right. Exactly the sort of colour I'm after ![]() |

They kind of changed whites every couple of years, it roughly looks like this... 1963 Nuburg White 1965 Toga White 1967 Snow White 1969 Crystal White Snow white is a creamy white, Toga white is a bit whiter, Crystal White is a very white white, like a fridge. Take a look at Doug's epic Australian Mini Paint & Trim Colours thread. |

If you look at the photo from timmy201, the red mini on the left of the green mini, that roof is crystal white(as close as cameras and screens go). It suits some colours but can look like an afterthought. Goldbrocade_62 has a good suggestion. I painted my mini K's roof in a very pale green that matched Willow Green body. Pure white would have been too much. |
