Went out to dinner last night with my wife, my sister and her husband (They're visiting from LA). We all left the parking garage at the same time so I took this snapshot of my XKR in front of my dad's 2021 XF that my sister borrowed for the night. Good times. I wish the XKR had the tech from that XF, Pivi Pro is pretty awesome.

THANK YOU for Embedding those pics and not posting them all separately! Clean looking cars also. Mine is always dirty.

I think I might have undone that - for some reason this forum seems to have a real problem with Flickr, or Flickr has a real problem with forums - can't seem to embed just a single image without the scrolling controls and can't restrict an embedded album to just that album.

Now each of them is scrollable for the entire album. Several hundred pictures!

Nathan's hot dogs are a perfect Monday date night, especially when it's top-down weather. Benefits of living 15 minutes from Coney Island

That Wheatland Yellow C1500 across the street ain't to shabby either, especially for a NY truck.

I'd be interested to see these two together. 2010 BOTANICAL GREEN looks remarkably close to 2014 BRG.

They'd just about have to be parked side by side for comparison with the naked eye. The dark greens are so hard to photograph accurately. I did manage to take this one, which is more representative of Botanical Green:


gtcarlot.com has a lot of good information, and I reference it for the names of the colors that were available by year.

paintcolourchart.com is where I found these chips:

Always use the JLR three letter colour codes from the Manufacturer Label for matching:



The greens certainly are an unusual shade. Mine varies from appearing iridescent green to almost black depending on the light.

That's what I love about botanical green (besides the fact it's super classy ^^): it's kind of a "hidden" green, appearing black under most lighting conditions.
The green tint reveals itself only when the light hits the body "right".
