HI,
I killed my center armrest by messing around with paint for my black steering wheel...

On eb*y I find lots of armrests, but most vendors don't know the code/name of the color ... some give a wrong guess.
My interior is "dove", which is so close to beige and other colors, that I can hardly be sure to get the matching color by looking at fotos.
( Depending on the tone of the lightsource, the colors of the armrest change, too...)

Is there a color code written on the jag parts ?

What is a clever way to match colors just by looking at photos ?

 

I've tried to no avail. There are too many variables in a photo. To my knowledge, no colour code on a part.

I'm thinking of two options. When you say you killed your center armrest, if you mean you spilled dye, I think redye may be an option? You can send the part to the dye maker for a perfect colour match

Option two, the armrest supplier has the VIN. You can contact Jaguar with the VIN and they can tell you the interior colour codes.

 

I don't know any 'clever' ways to match colors by way of a picture but the Jaguars do have codes for their interior colors. It's generally posted on the driver's side door jam or in that general area along with the build date, etc.
