OK, please bear with me on this one, lol...

Anyone have the XJ in the Loire Blue color...?

How dark is it in real life...?

I have always had black cars - just like the look when they are washed/waxed/detailed, etc.

Nothing better than black when it is taken care of, etc...

But I have always wanted a dark blue (navy-ish) car - just to get something different than the traditional black.

I can't quite seem to figure out the color of the Loire Blue.

I can tell it isn't "navy" - but other than that pictures and videos of the XJ in the Loire Blue are all over the place...

Some make it look dark, some make it look not very dark at all.

Also - thinking about going from the usual (for me) black seats/interior - to the Ivory...

Again, the ivory color is all over the map in pictures and videos...

Is the ivory more of a "yellowish" ivory - or is it more of a "whitish" ivory...

Thanks!

 

Sorry, I dont have exactly the information you are looking for, but...

Dark blue in the X351 XJ is possibly the best colour - car combination ever. I have a gold XJ, so I'm not being biased. Navy Blue XJ - oh my. As for the seats, you cant lose. I have black in the XJ, but cream in my Black V12 Benz.

Enjoy the ride and journey in every sense... These X351's are as good as some of the older legendary cars in other brands, E38, W140, 456 etc.

 

I have seen Lorie blue in person in various shades of light. Lorie blue is a true Navy blue out of all of the various shades of blue LR/Jag offers. On an overcast day, it will appear as a dark Navy blue (bluer than Farallon black). In the sunlight, it will display a radiant navy blue.

As for ivory leather, I have it myself. I wouldn't say it's "yellow-ish". It's more of a "white oatmeal" leather look.

 

If it looks like navy blue, swims like navy blue, and quacks like navy blue...

 

Thanks for the replies.

Sometimes it looks like navy - sometimes it doesn't.

I realize these pictures are lighting dependent - but the color seems to be all over the place - and not very easily discernible.

 

A lot of Jaguar colours look different in different lighting conditions: it's almost as if they planned it that way.

 

In Pictures 4 and 5 it looks sensational... My 02 cents.

 

You're asking people to describe their impression of a colour in words over the internet... You're not really going to get an answer, as colour is so subjective and difficult to describe... I have a bike that's described by the manufacturer as "battleship blue," but it's definitely green.

I'm afraid the only way to answer this question is to find one and see it.

 

Yes, if it were only that easy...
