What paint color is this? - XKR
Hi Guys,
I posted this in the 2007+ XKR forum yesterday but I did some research and I think this XKR is somewhere around a 2005 or so...
Anyway, I love this color and it is very close to the original color of a old motorcycle I'm restoring. Can someone tell me me with some degree of certainty if the name of this color is:
1. Jaguar Racing Green
Or
2. British Racing Green
Thanks in advance.
It seems that both of these colors were available from about 2003 - 2006 so I'm not sure which one it is.

Definitely Jaguar Racing Green. My car is British Racing Green. The year of the car is a bit tough to tell. It is 2003+ since it has the 4.2 and before the body change in 2007 so in the 2003-2006 range. To compare to BRG, here is mine on a mostly sunny day:

I have a color question also. I know that my 2005 is Quartz and when I first saw the car before buying, it first struck me as a sort of graphite color. But now that I have owned it for some time it appears (at least to me) that there is a slight tinge of green in it. My wife thinks I am nuts and that I must be partially colorblind (she is unquestionably spot-on about the nuts part). I realize that nobody sees colors exactly the same way but are there any other Quartz owners out there who feel that this is actually a slightly greenish grey?
Thanks,
Doug

Thanks--I knew I wasn't seeing things. The green sort of comes and goes depending on the lighting.
