Default X358 color trilemma: Liquid Silver vs Emeral Fire Green vs Jaguar Racing Green

I'm facelifting my X350 to X358. Since I will have to respray half of the car, actually more than half, because a few other panels need respray anyway, I am thinking about changing the color. Yes, changing the color is more difficult because of the hard to reach areas, but let's not discuss the difficulty of that.

I would ask for :

1. Your beautiful photos of your X358s in these colors

2. Your opinion on them.


Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm inclined on Emerald, but don't tell anyone

My x350 2004 is Platinum (MDZ) and is a superb colour.

Amazingly it is made from about six colours incuding red, white,blue etc. and when

the light is fading or on a dull day it looks a bit pink! I love it!

It is a darker shade of silver than the liquid silver which is a later shade as used on

my friend's XF.

Another friend had an 2004 X350 in British Racing Green.

This was a lovely colour (almost black) but IMO the interior should be very light eg Ivory.

At least I think the correct name was BRG.

Emerald Fire Green

If you are into blue Jaguar has Pacific Blue which is a beautiful color. Happens to be what I have. See pics of my car here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n.../hello-154613/

Emerald Fire looks good but I've never seen a green Jaguar with a black interior. They all have variations of a tan interior. You may also want to look at Lunar Grey. It has an interesting purplish tint that is richer than the pure silver paint colors.
