What color for my Coupe?

For me, it'll be the F Type R in Polars White (I'm already having an XF in that colour)... Got it with the black pack and the black tornado-wheels (I love contrast)...
(On Monday, I've signed the contract to get one of the first F-Type Coupés in my country, and can't wait to get it - delivery will be around May 2014.)

I do. And I clicked through the photos in your first post and really do like the BRG, metallic or otherwise. It's bloody brilliant really. What a gorgeous car. I hope Ian Callum is with Jaguar for many years to come.

I looked at the F-type in all of the popular colors at a few dealerships this week.
Color choice is ultimately subjective, but here are some semi-objective observations:
1. The xirallic paint colors (see here) really pop noticeably next to the non-xirallic colors. The color depth, glitter and lustre just cannot be conveyed well in the brochures or on the website.
2. The Jaguar website configurator has terrible color reproduction. I have a calibrated monitor for design work, and the colors on the website are really poor representations of the actual paint. I thought the worst offence was Lunar Grey, which is several shades lighter in real life than the website version.
3. (ok this IS now subjective) I think the interior palette for the F-type is more conducive to grayscale exteriors (black/grey/white) than colored exteriors. There is a conspicuous lack of a lighter tan monotone that would work well with the blue, red, orange, and BRC paint. The color/tan complement has worked really well for ferrari, lambo, benz, aston, etc., not to mention the long history of Jaguars in BRC/tan combinations. [/soapbox]

I don't know why the R Coupe doesn't have the option for a Brogue interior. It is limited to Camel.
Probably the only exterior color I don't like is Salsa Red. Non-metallic red on any car makes it look like plastic IMO. To me it is the only color that seems to do that.
