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.

Wow I'm bad at posting pictures. Here they are

 

Looks like Jaguar Racing Green, not British Racing Green.

Jaguar Racing Green is a metalic paint so it will sparkle in the sun, and it is a little lighter green. British Racing Green is a straight paint and pretty dark, can almost look black when in dim lighting.

 

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:

 

Yep, I have a coupe in that color. It is Jaguar Racing Green.

 

Thanks for the help everyone. I really appreciate it.

Now, off to the painter

 

Post some pictures when you get finished with it.

 

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

 

I was in your garage (on the forum) and definitely saw some soft green in it. Looks good.

 

It is an 04+, because the 03 still had the body side molding.

 

It is definitely a North American 2005-6. The exhaust tips, bumper cover, spoiler, and side sills ID it.

 

Good call guys. I'm not up on my year to year changes yet.

 

If I were to guess it is King Fisher Blue http://www.gusglikas.com/93Jag.htm

 

I would say it was Jaguar Racing Green according to this chart:

Last year for British Racing Green was 04.

 

I believe it is my color...Aspen Green Mica. The color is amazing...hints of blue in certain light, but a beautiful green in most lights. I fell in love immediately.

 

I also have a Quartz jag and, yes there is green in it. I am an architectural interior designer so colors are kind of my business; so I guess you could say that is a professional opinion.

 

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