Which one do you like best?

I (obviously) prefer "Liquid Yellow". I feel that "Mellow Yellow" looks a lot like the yellows used by other car makers.

I'm still not sure.... although you can now spec Mellow Yellow on a Cooper Convertible, which I think suits it better than Liquid Yellow, still not sure on the R56 though...

Saw a Mellow Yellow Cooper S on the motorway yesterday - looked fantastic, much better than LY in my opinion. If I ever return to MINI ownership I would actually be very tempted to go for MY!

Liquid Yellow for me - Mellow Yellow looks too 'mustard' for my liking - I hate mustard!

[Buffster Bird]

Although I currently drive a BRG/White Cooper, I do prefer mellow mellow to the liquid yellow. I think they look good with a black roof. May get that colour combination on my next one.

I'm just a yellow lover, I voted for both.

[supa-dupa-cooper]

I voted for both too

[KillerByte]

I prefer LY as my Cooper is LY/B.

From photographs, I do like Mellow Yellow. However, I saw one on the road not so long ago and I wasn't that impressed.

It looks lovely with a white roof

I think the problem with the one I saw was it had the body coloured roof and no stripes. So it looked very plain.

As for MY/W, this combination works much better than LY/W ever did. The white works well against the darker yellow. I've never seen a LY/W MINI which I've really liked (no offence to LY/W owners out there). They always look a little insipid. Black seems to provide a bit of contrast (under-statement if ever there was one ) and makes it look sportier.

On MY/B, I think there is more risk of it looking 'waspy', but from all the photos I have seen I like this combination. It seems the natural progression from my own MINI.

Sorry Julio, I prefer Mellow Yellow.

But not by much!

I know what you mean by it being a bit 'samey' though!

[Goonery]

For me a well turned out LY car with a few accents (stripes or interesting decals) looks nicer than MY at the moment. MY looks a bit Council Gritting Truck without a contrast roof and stripes.
Dark Silver Vipers on an all MY car looks cool though

[MINI Poser]

Liquid Yellow is far better than Gold!

LY is more vibrant and....Happier!

Now...for ease of comparison, I have included this picture taken from the Top Gear run earlier this month (With some editing in Paint )

Got to be MY for me.

When I was ordering my R56 went in to the dealer to buy a pepper white, changed to MY cos my dealer said that the cream colourline didn't go with PW and eventually changed a few days later to British Racing Green ! ! !

MY is the yellow I thought LY would be before I actually saw it ! !

[Yatesy]

I have to say LY at the moment, but i didnt like this colour to start with. I think that the yellow cars only look good when the roof is in the body colour (as mine is).

I was thinking AA or retro BT Van myself. Round us they were always yellow Austin Maestro vans and I just can't get the image out of my head when i see a MY MINI. Sorry MY is not for me, IMO possibly the worst colour MINI have ever done. Sorry to all those MY lovers, just my opinion.
