If you tell us the color code from the door placard, that will solve the question.

If it looks almost black out of sunlight, it is like BRG.
Botanical Green and Emerald Fire are both heavy on metallic flakes.
The BRG appears lighter than normal because the exposure was set to bring in detail of the interior of the hanger, and the car is outside. The light level the camera aimed for is making the green a lighter tint.
Emerald Fire is JRG with the gold metallic flakes in the paint changed to silver.
I'm not sure Botanical Green was available with the early cars, but it isn't a color I have done much research into either.
I believe BG was Japanese and can no longer be made.

"As we are talking about metallic flakes I figured out why Jaguar called it Midnight Black - when the sun picks up the flakes it looks like a midnight"
Good observation about the paint looking like the night's sky. However, paint code "PEF" a.k.a. Midnight Black Metallic was only available for X150's during US model year 2007. I believe what you have on your car is "Ultimate Black Metallic", which I believe is paint code "PEL".
Can you check the paint code on the driver door frame? Please report your findings.
