    Mine's Red/black so peacock blue, though sharp looking, would not go well with the interior, And thinking about it now, I guess green might not also. Purple haze sounded great but when I looked it up it looks pretty blue. Blue is an ok color, but I'm guessing its not for me either... Stay Ebony, or go Copper, or keep thinking... Well, I have a week or few. No rush. heheh

    TexVex-- The only true way to evaluate 2006 MINI Cooper "Purple Haze" is to actually see it in person on a MINI with the naked eye preferably under bright sunshine!!! A computer screen image does not do this color any justice. Once you see this color in person, it will blow your mind as it changes color from different angles due to the pearl in the paint. It will look solid Black during nightime, but sparkles a mind-boggling deep purple metallic during bright sunshine with ever-changing hues due to the pearl. It is the most desired color of the 2006 MINI Cooper (just ask your local MINI dealership).

    Try to find a MINI Dealership or private owner that has the "Purple Haze" color on an actual 2006 MINI. Once you see it in person on an actual MINI, I bet you'll change your mind. It is definately NOT blue, but rather a true deep dark plum purple with metallic glitter sparkles.

    While you are at it, drive over to your local Cadillac Dealer and take a peek at "Gold Mist Metallic" (Champagne) on a new 2012 Escalade. It's another mind blowing color in bright sunshine that will really contrast well with the body cladding of the VX and make it look like a million bucks.
