White or black with the red interior were my first choices though the F type looks good in many colors. I'm sure swirls can be removed from the black but yes, it does take more effort to keep it looking good. So far I love my white which looks "as new"

I love my Fuji white 2018 and am happy I didn't buy the black vert that I was looking at before I settled on this one.
I've had two other white cars over the years, one of which I'll attach a rendition of--a rendition because it's really a picture of a sweatshirt I had airbrushed for my son after I gifted him the car. I don't know what happened to the photos of ''74 GP, but the airbrushed rendition is perfect. Any way, it was definitely a looker in its day with white, paint, while vinyl top and white interior. Also, it had well over 200k miles when it was literally put out to pasture...and never had so much as a valve cover removed--great road car except for the the fact it got 15 MPG at best.

 

As mentioned above white needs a lot of accent colors to make it look great. Once you add those "colors" I believe it detracts from the true lines of the car. I've had a few white trucks but never a white car.

 

 

I agree white is the easiest and lowest maintenance color. Grey or silver probably second.
However, my vote is for British racing green with chrome trim and chrome propeller wheels.for best looking lines when clean.

 

Last August I voted white as the best color for an F-Type and posted a picture of my 2014 "S" convertible. In September I bought a 2016 F-Type R, and guess what color I got.

 

Initially I thought I'd wrap it, but I have to admit: white is growing on me.

 

I like your red seats.

 

Any used car will have swirls if not taken cared of. But that can be taken out with a paint correction. I have to say the black paint is beautiful when it's taken cared of. The pearl jag uses looks amazing.

 

In my opinion, this is one of the best color combos for our car. If I hadn't found my firesand, I would have gotten a white one with the red seats.

But my dream car showed up with everything I wanted, so here we are. 😍

Great wheels for Firesand.

 

Thanks. Got them after I purchased the car. Love them.

 

I'm thinking about getting some or all of the lower trim (front/side sills/skirts and rear valence) wrapped in carbon fibre styled vinyl. Maybe mirrors too. I think it could match nicely with these wheels.

Still debating this in my head 😏

 

Wow, such an amazing color of JAG. I really like this one bright color palette https://create.vista.com/colors/colo...bright-yellow/ It's energize me much. Thanks!

 

I've been partial to silver cars over the years but decided to go with a splash of color- I liked bluefure blue, but my A8L is about that color

 

Color is a personal matter and really has nothing to do with the paint condition which is totally up to the previous owner(s).
One thing you might take into account though is the color combination.
Personally, I think my BRG/camel brown is the perfect combo - you may well disagree.
I did look at cars with red interiors which other forum members indicated did wear well, but personally I would never go for the off-white interiors that seem to come with paint colors like blue.
Also not a big fan of all-black interiors - very ordinary for such a beautiful car, though likely the best color for long term appearance.

 

I assumed the question stemmed from a question of value rather than aesthetics. Two issues to consider: resaleability and resistance to the elements.
1. I never consider selling and car I purchase. In all instances, I have either donated them to a charity at the end of their lifespans, or have restored and kept them. The average age of my fleet of 4 vehicles is 29 years, so I can't really wax poetic on resale value.
2. The other key consideration on color is how well it holds up under the elements. Generally, reds and light blues hold up poorly, but that really depends on the paint manufacturer. Has anyone on this forum experienced paint fading on their F-Types yet.?

 

My wife's light (sapphire) blue 1979 Fiat still looked great when we sold it in 2016.
The exterior held up much better than the interior light brown leather/plastic trim.
I just could not deal with the unreliability - suposedly that was the last year they used carbs before going injection, and Fiat just could not manage all the emissions crap.

 

I went with British Racing Green took some time to find the right one

 

Definitely a Jaguar classic color!!
Camel interior?
Enjoy.
