You know, Lunar Grey is a very nice color, though... I almost bought an XK a few years back and the car I initially ordered was that color. I don't think you'd go wrong with any of the three on your list, but equally you won't blend in with the crowd with the Italian Racing Red - I personally think the IRR looks great on these cars too.
Good luck and keep us posted!

IRR has a lot of contrast with the pano roof. I thought it looked pretty good on the website

Irr
My dealer has an IRR V6, with the pano roof, and it sold me to go that route. I think the pano black roof is a great contrast with the paint, and really blends the back/trunk well with the rest of the car. Unfortunately, I won't get mine til October, and I don't have any pictures of that car.

Made my final change to my order today. After seeing Stratus and Lunar, I decided to go with Lunar. Some mentioned they thought it had a blue tint to it. After some online research with pics and VINs my GM and I determined the color that has the blue tint is Satellite Gray. The blue tone in the paint is most likely why they pulled Satellite Gray out of the paint options.

I did. The Stratus is beautiful, but too dark. My last 2 Jags have been black and I wanted something different.

That lighter Lunar Grey is similar to the classic Aston Martin silver, and the coupe will look fantastic with that.
What wheels did you go with?

It makes me feel better to hear that. I wanted to get the color right. I didn't want to have any regrets in my choice.
I spent hours last weekend googling the colors and researching info pertaining to automotive color.

I've got a Lunar Gray XK (20" Kalimnos wheels), and it pops when it is in the sun. When I went to see it at the dealer I had just been told that it was gray over the phone. Then when I drove up to see it I thought it was the wrong car because it was toward the silver side since it was sitting in the sunlight. I've had a lot of different cars - all different colors, but this is one of my favorites. I think you will love the color.
