Definitely MY18 (maybe earlier), during which it was renamed Yulong White.

I would not be concerned about paint repairs done by a reputable shop.
Had a minor paint repair on my BRG and it is perfect.
I would get some up close photos of the area in question.

Paint name and codes are clearly labeled on a label on the door jam. (the black one on my MY21).

According to an online database I found, Jaguar offered the "Glacier White" color (color codes NAK, 11AQ, or 2201) for only two years (2015-16) while manufacturing the F-type.
Color Codes - Glacier White Paint Cross-Reference

However, for Jaguar "Yulong White" has the same three paint codes as the three "Glacier White" above. And, Jaguar offered the "Yulong White" in 2018 - 2022.

"Yulong White" Color Codes - Jaguar Paint Cross-Reference

Note that, unlike the view of the database for "Glacier White" above, this view shows the specific models, including F-type.

FYI, The "Polaris White" and "Fuji White" codes for Jaguar are NER and 2135, and for some years !AA.

Enjoy....

That database is inaccurate - the TOPIx Vehicle Summary for my MY18, built 25 March 2017, states the colour is Glacier White (1AQ). The start date for Yulong White appears to be correct, though.

Cool!! Just goes to affirm that you can't believe everything you see on the internet.

Just for grins and giggles, however, does that match the label on your car state as far as color?

Just curious.

oops.... my bad. I just re-read my first post, and it appears that I fat-fingered "1AQ" as "11AQ", which is the same color code of your TOPIx summary. My apologies to you and to all that read it.

Funny, though... The brochure for the 2018 F-type lists "Fuji white" or "Yulong" white for the available colors, and not "Glacier White".

Jumping in to question if the paint color names were the same globally. In the US, my 2016 FType was Yulong White. My 2017 FType is Glacier. Same color. So these maps that say Yulong was a later color do not reflect my experience. I also wonder if they don’t cross-reference models. As I believe both names were used at the same time across JLR line.

Getting back to original ancient post, my 2016 XF was Polaris. And I loved the flat white of Polaris on the XF but prefer the iridescent look of Glacier/Yulong on the FType - to the point that I exclusively looked for that color on the replacement. I get a fair amount of comments on the color.

My label only has the paint code (1AQ) not the name.

given the choice of both whites a Jaguar should always be British Racing Green.
