I am the point of buying my first-ever Mini. One of my options is a 2015 Hardtop in "iced chocolate brown." I've not yet seen it in person. How dark is this brown? When I google it, the pics I find make it look almost black. I'm hoping it's more Hershey bar and less coffee. Thoughts?

 

It's definitely a darker shade of brown. Here are some really good pictures of an iced chocolate brown MINI so you can get a good idea.

 

Thanks, Pelican! -- that helps tremendously. The exact car in question is a factory demo, which is why I've not yet seen any pics of it. If it has a white roof, I'd be very happy indeed.

I want to add stripes to it. I had been thinking white stripes, but the black ones in your photographs look very nice, too. Maybe black stripes if it has a dark roof, and white stripes if it has a white roof? So many choices . . .

 

My pleasure! Glad I could help. I think the white stripes with the white roof would go well with that color. If you do the black roof, the stripes in the link would look great since they have a white pinstripe on the sides. Good luck with your decision!
