It seems like there has been a lot of contradicting information regarding new colors for the '04 MINI. Here's some interesting information I just received from a reliable source that hopefully clears things up a bit:

“It has been confirmed by MINIUSA that Pepper White will be coming on the S starting in 2004. Cordoba Beige will also be available with sport seats. Velvet Red will be phased out sometime in 2004 and will be replaced by Electric Blue for the Coopers.”

“[There's] still a possibility of Orange seeing production for europe in 2004 as well as Colbolt Blue.”
