IMHO mineral grey is a good fit for such a design. And mineral grey is dark or almost space-grey bright depending on lightning conditions, the color has unusually wide dynamic range.
That's not how I remember it. 2002's were practical and FUN! They came in bright colors such as the orange one they feature in the new M235i commercial.
I remember greens and reds and blues and yellows. A Rolls Royce is supposed to look "stately". An M235i is all about fun IMO. Bring on the colors!
