Question about colors and trim.

Question about colors and trim.
I'm starting to look around at X351s and I've noticed a couple of variables. I've always preferred Ivory interiors, but I saw a car with orange leather that was really beautiful. 2 questions: What's the Jaguar official terminology for "orange", and what exterior colors could be coupled with that? The one I saw was black. Is that the only paint color that goes with orange?
Second question: Since I would be transitioning from a PROPER XJ (pre-09) I prefer wood with my leather, not carbon fiber, not even ebony Elm. I have seen a few with warm brown wood accents, but not many. Did they cease after a certain model year? Or was there a certain model (like Sovereign) that tended toward wood?

Although to be fair, it can look quite orange on screen. If you google image search "jaguar london tan" you will see how different it can look in different lights / different cameras etc.
Personally I would love to have it in my XJ instead of black, or better still Bordeaux (dark purply red)

+I on Cashew / Truffle.
Here's mine, with Burl Walnut veneer and illuminated sill plates. Note that the dashboard color isn't right.
And with matching aftermarket Leaper logo puddle lights. The leather on the top edge of the door is the correct shade of brown (Truffle).
P.S. The reason for the color difference between my and@Freddy J 's photos is the lighting - his were taken in daylight and I just took mine at night in my garage. His looks too light and mine look too dark. My dashboard isn't greenish, it's the same shade of dark brown as his, as shown on the top of my door card.
I'll take some pictures in the morning to show the difference.
