It looks kinda like Twilight from this pic, but not in many other pictures of twilight painted cars that I can find.

I agree with KevG on this one. I borrowed this photo taken by Sonic_160zr, which I think is the right monogram colour we all had in mind and which I think is the real twilight on caled's post:



after increasing saturation +60:





Even though different cameras have slightly different hue/saturation I am sure that it cannot vary so much, surroundings are the proof... So, defo a respray, I've seen this colour on cars other than MG/Rover models...

I just thought to give it a go and see if it was boosted in photoshop. Anyway, here's what I found on 'forums:

"I asked the guy regarding the colour, and this is what he emailed me:

Yeah its had a re paint in the aquarius paint work i was told by the previous owner it was done by am mg dealership under warranty, but the respray isnt an mg colour after getting the car from a chap in newcastle i did some research into it and it was one of the 6 monograp paints originally flipping from blur to pink and light grey i can get the name if req from vin plate but for some reason it has a PAINT MADE BY A COMPANY CALLED MIPA VIP PAINTS AND ITS CALLED AQUARIOUS ,ITS SOLD BY A COMPANY CALLED Q PAINTS . IF IM HONEST BEING A PAINTSHOP TEAM LEADER FOR A BIG INSURANCE COMPANY I PREFER THE AQUARIOUS THAN THE ORIGINAL LOL"
