Of those who have actually seen a Pepper White Cooper, which picture looks closest?
If you have a picture you think would better represent either the lighter side (A) or the darker side (B), post it!

The Beastmaster · Jul 25th, 2002, 04:42 AM

Pepper White looks closer to car "B".

Kinster · Jul 25th, 2002, 05:31 AM

I saw a pepper white yesterday. I thought it was a pure silver until I looked closely...

It looks a lot like B.

AprilWhine · Jul 25th, 2002, 05:55 AM

Actually, I think the real color is somewhere in between these pictures. I describe pepper white as the color of Grandma's teeth...

HarryHBMCC · Jul 25th, 2002, 07:26 AM

Ah, if they'd called the colour "Grandma's Teeth" sales would be skyrocketing but with "Pepper White" it's no wonder sales are low...

Picture A is the weakest link, good bye

Picture B looks spot on

Mark_Ohio · Jul 25th, 2002, 08:15 AM

Actually I have a Pepper white mini with black top, the color is alot closer to A.

Electrc109 · Jul 25th, 2002, 09:07 AM

I didn't want to make this difficult, so at least notice the difference in pictures here...I have more, but I think you get the point of this poll! MY Pepper Cooper is due to arrive by Saturday! I don't even know what Pepper White looks like!!!

Electrc109 · Jul 25th, 2002, 09:09 AM

...take these 5 pictures, put them in a blender...I still don't know...

to be continued...

Sealevel · Jul 25th, 2002, 09:12 AM

Problem with the contrast of the pics, A's too bright-white and the B's too gray. Saw one 2 days ago at the dealer's, it was white, more like A, but with an extremely faint trace of ivory to it. Also think it needs some serious accessories to make it stand out--wheel & tire upgrade, rally lights, bonnet stripes, checkered or white/Union Jack roof, aerokit, any combination thereof--something--anything--to make it stand out. On its own it just seems kind of blah--an empty canvas waiting for an artist.

Saw one on the back of a transporter when I was coming back from the UK S launch and test drive - the transporter also had a few Ss on it, so I had to drive past it *several* times

Point being, Pepper White looked distinctly BEIGE to me - much darker than the white with ivory I'd anticipated (and darker than Rover's attempt at Old English White from a couple of years ago).

Are big images of pepper white in the UK weather!

QQQ · Jul 25th, 2002, 01:25 PM

It's definitey A, the colour of white pepper

Electrc109 · Jul 25th, 2002, 04:47 PM

My Cooper has arrived. It is at the dealership, and I shall pick it up this weekend. I have a digital camera, and I shall adjust the coloration of the picture to match what the color really looks like!

MiNi · Jul 25th, 2002, 05:03 PM

I think closer to B... I like that color.. I thought at first it was just another name for white

JimMini · Jul 25th, 2002, 05:31 PM

Electric109, I'm in the same boat as you, I have a Pepper White on order, but have not seen one in person. I think it is a hard color to capture on film, digital or otherwise, but felt it was a color that would look rich in person.

Post your pics when you get it and we'll add them to the mix, but I will be really interested in your impressions of seeing the color in person after having ordering only lookin at the pics.

Electric109 and Jim -

I've also ordered a Pepper White/Black Cooper without having actually seen one , so I'll be looking forward to more pictures too.

One thing that tipped the balance for me was my belief that the Pepper White would have the best blend and contrast with the black plastic running around the lower parts of the car. Plus, I like the simplicity of having really only two exterior colors . . .

Electrc109 · Jul 26th, 2002, 07:24 PM

catalyst, good point. Pepper White has become a much more enjoyable color since the begining of June (when I ordered the car). I originally picked the color to disguise my otherwise youthful appearance. To make a long story short, I don't ever want to be pulled over again!

BigMack · Jul 26th, 2002, 08:06 PM

I own a Pepper White Cooper and it's a cream, off white.
I think if you go buy a box or bottle of ground White Pepper at the store you will have it.

After looking at my off white computer keyboard, that is exactally what mine looks like.

Also if you roll your mouse over the emoticons,(During a post) the off white box that pops up is almost pepper white.

I pick number one (A)

Why couldn't we just have Old English White???

morris426 · Jul 27th, 2002, 12:19 PM

I think B is the closest, I walk pass one every day and I think it's a really nice colour, I think if you had a group of MINI's a pepper white would stand out a mile.
