White Roof = Feminine? (Poll Closed) OK just one more reply then!

[Damo]

In a word

NO

In Fact IMO a Mini without a white roof is like a PINK ferrari.

White Roof Rulez!

I'd have to vote yes (don't flame me!) My mum has a white roof but no bonnet stripes!

Maybe white roof'd guys are in touch with there feminine side? :P

Its a car, its none gender specific, it doesn't have any genitalia! So how can it be feminine. Its White! Now if you said Pink, or maybe even Yelloe, but ITS WHITE. I.e. its every colour mixed together!

Of course Blue must be really Macho Maybe someone is compensating or hiding summat

Hehehehe depends how you look at it. Although you are technically correct about paint, your wrong.

White reflects all the colour spectrum so all the light is reflected into your eye. When a White light is on it emits ALL range of light. When it comes to mixing paint, if you mix all the colours you do indeed get black, but thats by mixing different paints that each block certain amounts of the specturm making black, the reflection of no light. So to your eye its just a black hole (although you'll never get TRUE black as only true black would look like a black hole which is nigh on impossible unless you have a collapsing star )



For example, why is space black and not white?

FYI If you're talking about light, white is the result of "mixing" all colours (primaries). Black is not a colour, it is the absence of light.
In paint terms both white and black are valid colours.

Back to topic, WHY would a white roof be feminine?
Explain please.

I wouldn't term white roofs as feminine (white with BRG and white stripes looks stunning and doesn't evoke any particular gender to me), but black roofs do tend to "butch up" a MINI, especially with lighter/brighter body colours (yellow, silk green, pepper white and especially electric blue).

Has everyone forgotten about TRADITION ? Why the original Mini had a white roof on the track? If you don't know, do your homework !!

Very true, same reason you don't see Pink or yellow ferraris in F1!

I see someone's already pointed out about black not being a colour, white being all colours etc. so I wont bother on that one.

With regard to white roof being feminine - I sincerely hope not!!

Are you calling me a ****?!
