The picture in my first post, is from the sales add, sorry to say: I didn't take that picture. Kudos to the former owner.

Jacob,
I think it is Ivory.
To be certain, check the Trim Code (arrowed in red in the photo) on the Manufacturer's label on the LH door pillar:
The 3-letter code gives the exact colour. This is NED (Ivory) from my 2005 XK8. If your code is different, post it back here and I'll look up the colour for you.

Hi Fulton, please don't visualize my car being washed that way 
.
BTW, I hear some knocking noises in front of my car, might be the lower ball joint and/or the lover shock bushings. Hear it when hitting small bumps in the road. What do you think?

Sorry about the video 
I have an unnatural fear of Piers, Clowns, and Parades.
While you are checking for the source of the clunk, check the upper shock mounts, those are a common failure.
