Default Color Identification Please..

Hi All,
I like this color a lot. But is it Zircon Blue or Seafrost Green?
Thanks in advance.

I think seafrost is just a touch more green so I would guess (key word) zircon blue.

Well mine is Seafoam Green which later became Seafrost Green. Looks like Seafrost Green to me.

To complicate things further, there apparently were 2 Seafrosts - Metallic and Pearl:

Well according to the link above Seafrost Pearl was used on 2001 and 2005 as paint code MDV. Seafrost Metallic was used on 2003 and 2006 as paint code MDV.

So I guess I actually have Seafrost Metallic, go figure.

'Just to wrap this up, I bought the car. 2005 XK8 in Seafrost (pearl) w/Tan (barley?) interior. 71,000 miles. 2 owners - me & the original lady

Unfortunately I've already had an 'issue' with it, which I'll post a separate thread on.
