2010 XK, CarFAX said (Portfolio ) Liquid Silver, sure looks like Shadow or Lunar Gray, has a slight purple tint in the sunlight.
Black interior is really not meant for a convertible, seats, dash, and steering wheel get way to hot just left in the sun for an hour.
Carry a few towels to put on the seats in order to drive it.

Nobody's mentioned Frost Blue so far. I haven't seen any other X150s in this color (but then, I haven't seen that many other X150s at all!). Any idea how many came in this color?

In some sun conditions it loses a lot of the blue and looks like silver.

I have a soft spot for Frost Blue. If memory serves, the car mags showed concept 'early screening' pics of the X150 and it was in Frost Blue with camel. I remember being gobsmacked.

This is a very long thread for a very simple question...having a very simple answer, which is...



Botanical green. Appears black in most conditions, but you're rewarded with these classic and classy green hues when the light hits right.
A match made in heaven with a caramel interior like the above.

I’ve grown tired of my caramel interior, that ivory is perfect for a red vert.

Pearl grey, there is a hint of purple in the paint when the sun hits it at different angles.

Agreed, Botanical Green on Caramel is the business, only downside is keeping the Caramel interior clean

User Harmz already found the best color for the X150 and had it installed:
Very best color for an XKR, in Jaguar Forums dot Com!

The best color for an XK is the color of the one you're driving.

Lovely...and on top of that very practical for daily use, as a colour like this can take A LOT of dirt before you actually get to see it.

I drive my 'vert all the time with a black interior. I also let it sit in the desert sun at 110f while in stores. What I do is flip the seats forward to keep the sun off, but I must find a parking space that allows me to align the rear towards the sun first. Or the PAX side if necessary.
