Another vote for Smoke Grey - in most ambient light conditions it usually looks light blue.

Car engines make CO2 and trees absorb CO2. By running your engine you're feeding a tree and helping the environment.

Everyone's computer seems to project a different colour on mine it almost looks a bit blueish.

Tweed Grey and the lighting makes it appear greenish.

So I received a Classic Minis 2019 calendar and the September car is also the cover car.  Its a mild mint green color and I like it.  But I can't find this color in my BMC color charts.  Do you know if this is an original color?  thx
