Mellow Yellow anyone??

Hi everybody,

I've got my name down for a new S and am thinking of getting Mellow yellow

I've heard that is better than Liquid Yellow (sorry to all those who love it ), but I have only seen the pics with tape on and no close up pics


So if anybody has seen anymore pics then please can you post them here

having seen mellow yellow on flesh, that image from mini.com reflects the real color quite well(at least on my screen).

I've only seen it in bright daylight, and it appeared more vibrant than that, but pretty similar. The photos we have of it (with tape) are pretty much spot on.

Liquid Yellow is a bit too custard-like for me.

Fiat and Lotus have got two of the best yellows on the market I reckon.

I've always thought that Liquid is a bit washed out/custard powder, but the new Yellow is a "proper" yellow. Much less "mellow" than liquid was. Weird choice of name to be honest.
