Home Assistant themes after the 2022 MINI Cooper S: metallic paint, the roof, bonnet stripes and the red S badge. There are six colourways, each with light and dark modes.
Each colourway at full size
| Theme | Paint | Roof | Bonnet stripes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Cooper S | Island Blue | Multitone (blue fading to black) | black, white pinstripe |
| Mini Cooper S British Racing Green | British Racing Green | white | white |
| Mini Cooper S Chili Red | Chili Red | white | white |
| Mini Cooper S Midnight Black | Midnight Black | Chili Red | black, red pinstripe |
| Mini Cooper S Pepper White | Pepper White | black | black |
| Mini Cooper S Zesty Yellow | Zesty Yellow | black | black |
Every colourway has light and dark modes and follows your light/dark setting. The Chili Red S is the "on" colour in all of them, as it's on the grille of every Cooper S. The paint colours are matched by eye from photos; they aren't official paint codes.
| On the car | In the theme |
|---|---|
| Metallic paint | The page: a sheen of the paint colour with metallic flake |
| The roof (or the Multitone fade, bright blue at the windshield to Jet Black) | A band under the header and a strip along the top of every card |
| Bonnet stripes and pinstripes | Two stripes down the page, like looking over the bonnet |
| Chili Red S on the grille | The primary colour for anything that's on, and an S badge in the bottom-right corner |
| Jet Black roof and piano-black trim | The header and sidebar, and the cards in dark mode |
| Round LED headlights | Rounder, 20 px cards |
Light mode uses a pale wash of the paint with pearl cards; dark mode is the paint at night with piano-black cards. Error colours are orange-red, so they read apart from the S red.
It's plain theme variables: no card-mod or other add-ons needed. The flake and the badge are SVGs embedded in the
theme file, so there's nothing to copy into www/.
- HACS → ⋮ → Custom repositories. Add
https://github.com/edwork/mini-cooper-s-themewith type Theme. - Search for Mini Cooper S, then Download.
- Run the Home Assistant Frontend: Reload themes action (
frontend.reload_themes), or restart.
Copy themes/mini_cooper_s.yaml into your config/themes/ folder, then reload themes.
Either way, your configuration.yaml needs to load themes from that folder:
frontend:
themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes- Your profile: your user (bottom left) → Theme → any of the six. They follow your light/dark setting.
- One view: edit the view → Theme, or
theme: Mini Cooper S Chili Redin YAML. A view theme styles the view's content; the header and sidebar keep your profile theme.
themes/mini_cooper_s.yaml is generated, so don't edit it by hand. Each colourway is a row in the SCHEMES table in
tools/build_theme.py: paint shades for each mode, roof, stripe and pinstripe colours, accent
and flake. Add your own car's paint there and run:
python3 tools/build_theme.py # regenerate themes/mini_cooper_s.yaml
python3 tools/build_theme.py --check # what CI runs: fails if the YAML is out of dateIt needs only Python 3.9+ and the standard library.
