Default Green Paint Code: 1965 S-Type

Does anyone know what green was used in 1965 on the S-Type? I have seen Op. Green for the exterior. I have seen others quote British Racing Green; however, I have read that that color did not exist until 1967 with the XKE.

Then, there is the interior. Mine is green; however, what green. I have seen just green and Moss Green. I plan to send a request into Heritage, but thought some of you may already know. I have been unable to find anything definitive on the Internet.

Thanks!!!

Not sure but the S type Register should have the information you need. Check their website. The current Newsletter of the Register shows a green S type in Australia, sort of an Aqua or Teal green, certainly not the dark "British Racing Green".

Jose,
There is one green on the registry, but I don't know if that is the same car in the newsletter. I will try to compare them when I get my newsletter and do some more research.

Joe,
the picture below is the BRG (British Racing Green).

a lot depends on the market the car was originally shipped to;

Europe is one market, Canada is another market, Australia another, USA another, Latin America another, South Africa another, etc., etc. different markets, different colors.

Jose,
Mine is so very close to BRG. Yes, the one in the Newsletter is different than listed on the registry. I hope the Heritage will let me know.
Thanks,

as far as I know the BRG color comes from the 1950's, since the early Jaguar XK-120 and MK-1 models of 1957. Also used in other cars like Aston Martin, Bentley, etc.

Here is what I use for color schemes (Nigel Thorley :Original Jaguar Mk1/Mk2) and the documents I could find on Autocolor Library (Auto Color Library - The World's Largest Online Color-Chip Library). I think that the 1965 S and Mk2 probably used the same references.
I hope this helps a bit.

Arbor Green is the color of the Australian S type shown in the current S type Register Newsletter.
