BMW will step out of itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s typical safe color palette.

And, hopefully, into "its" typical safe color palette.

In any event, I look forward to seeing a picture of the new color.

[...] And while you can expect to see lots of Hot Chocolate Clubmans in the press pics (the featured color for the R55), expect MINI to show off at least one other R55 exlusive color. Currently under consideration are Java Grey (metallic) and Sand Glow (metallic). We’re told nothing has been finalized yet but we should hear more about exterior and interior colors in the coming months. [...]

I like the sound of this, that Clove Brown in the minicolours link is pretty nifty.

Perhaps a Hershey Hybrid and/or a Starbucks MINI Moca Latte are in the pipeline? It should be noted that “chocolate” appears to be a prominent theme at CES this year, but unfortunately I did not see any MINIs on display in the auto audio North Hall. Next year I am hopeful that they will reappear along with ASIMO the magnificent Honda engineered humanoid robot. This android is truly amazing!

…actually,I think that might be a great color. A few years ago,Hersheys’ Candy Bar Company had a contest,in which a few candy bars had the word,”WINNER”,imprinted into the bar(instead of,”Hersheys’”). The finer of said bar could trade it in for a MINI Cooper,that was painted,in a custom,”Hershey Brown”,color.

…if that color is going to be the color for,”Hot Chocolate”;then,that Clubman is going to be one hot-looking ride.

It’s either gonna look really good or really bad. I second the “avocado green” colour… Something a little bit more olive-y than the silk green. So many people love silk green and I can see a colour in the greenish/mint family working really well on the Clubman…

‘Avocado Green’ would be better, but I guess I’ll wait for the new MINI Clubman slogan “What can BROWN do for you” :)

It’s back to the 70′s when shag carpeting and brown cars were “in” Remember all the metallic chocolate Japanese imports? IT seems to be a color that looks good on the showroom floor, but dates a car after it has been out a while.

VR.... hum it looks nice in that pic and it looked nice up close but that was about it. I personally would never buy a brown car, but to each his own. MINI's colour choices have sucked the last two years, IMHO.

I'm thinking.... Leu Brown. Thumbs Down!

Brown is a horrible color for an automobile. Always has been, always will be.

Sounds like it’ll be pretty cool color for the Clubman.

It reminds me of Velvet Red Metallic, but without the metal flakes and the added charge. Nice!

I always thought the VR looked more red or purple than brown. For example:
