Default Is the interior trim champagne/truffle the same as tan or beige

I'm looking to purchase an interior piece off of Ebay and the interior color code given is SEL.

In my research I've seen the following colors used to reference our interiors:

Champagne
Tan
Beige

Are they all the same color but Jaguar changed the name over time or are they all separate valid interior colors.

In some pictures the interior looks creamy white, some look beige, some look tan/yellowish

Mine in a 2009 XF (4.2L) with the champagne/truffle interior.

The color chart below doesn't help because the other colors I've mentioned isn't listed on there.

So I'm trying to determine if the interior color code SEL is the same as my interior color.

Isn't there a Manufacturer Label on the LH door post on the X250?

If so, it will show the three letter trim code for your vehicle.

On my car it's on the LH drivers door by the top hinge.

It is listed as SEL on my car, but the seller may of listed it incorrectly. I'm a visual person so when the item in the picture looks yellowish and my interior is creamy tanish, I just want to be certain it's a "photo" illusion or if there is another interior color option.

It's not much money so I will just take the risk and buy it. Worse case scenario I'll just resell it.

So the replacement armrest arrived yesterday and it was a perfect color match. It's out of a 2010 XF SC, so I'm assuming it had the cooling perforated seats because the armrest leather is smooth whereas my original one had a pattern.

All-in-all I'm very happy with the new armrest. I love how easily Jag made it to replace the armrest, it took all of 5 minutes.

Yep, two different grades of leather in XFs, the higher trim models came with "soft grain" leather (same as your new armrest), the lower trim models came with "bond" leather (per your original armrest).

Difference between the Premium and the Base XF. The leather in the Premium is to die for. The leather in the Base is for a Kia.
