How f*cked up is that???? :-) It's a b*tch being me. :-)
I'm going with the Indigo, though. It's a classic and rich color, that will stand the test of time.

Just Googled and while survey results vary pretty widely using different criteria, here's one for "most popular sports car colors" that surprised me...Sports Car Colors – What Shades Are Most Popular - The CarWoo! Chronicle | The CarWoo! Chronicle.

I'm a color freak, and it's been fun to OCD about. You're going to laugh at me, but I prefer the Kyanite in the shade, and the Indigo in the sun!

Here is the only video I've been able to find of a Kyanite XK. (P.S. It's kind of odd to see a brand new XKR in the middle of a muddy trailer park/auto parts/junk yard.)

That sounds like it's going to be beautiful, and you know it's going to drive great.
I ordered the base XK. Indigo Blue, with ivory/charcoal interior. It's coming with 20" Orona wheels, but I'm not going to keep those. I'm going to switch them out to Kasugas, which I'm getting separately. (couldn't order them with the car)
There is only one thing that I still might change, and that's the exterior color. While I have always had in my head that Indigo was the perfect color for me, I recently saw pictures of the car in Kyanite Blue, and wow...it was a real eye opener. Basically, the Indigo is richer and more refined, while the Kyanite is sportier and edgy. That color really stands out from the crowd. So, I have to decide if I want to go subtle, or kick ***. :-)

I have a 2010 XK Coupe in Claret and love the color.... It really stands out and am in the process of ordering a 2013 XK.... As you can see I like different and have yet to see here in the Florida area another vehicle of this color...... My choice for my next vehicle is Kayanite Blue and they are non-existent around here...... I am basing my choice upon a color chip and the webpage..... Has anyone ever seen an XK Coupe in this color and/or does anyone know a dealership in Florida that might have this color on any Jag?
Besides loving the handling and performance of the vehicle, color is of importance and I like bold and making a statement but without seeing it, well I am a bit apprehensive.......
Thanks and appreciate your assistance.....

The Kyanite is also amazing.

Hi.......
The photos are great and really show the color that I am interested in getting.... I am assuming that this is the dealership in Naples, Fl?

I walked into my dealer to order a '13 XKR vert and ended up buying the '12 they had on the showroom floor, as I couldn't pass up the discount. I originally wanted a black car but bought a midnight black, which I absolutely love. It appears black in low light but in the sun it shows up as a metallic dark blue. My last 3 vehicles were black so this is a nice change.
My dealer said if I ordered a '13 that day (3wks ago) I'd receive it sometime in late May, BTW.

And I love Red..... I have the Claret XK Coupe and after 2 1/2 years have never gotten tired of the color, nor have I ever seen it's twin..... The Kayanite looks really sharp and I am on a hunt to see if I can find a vehicle with that color somewhere in the state of Florida..... I have been in touch with dealerships but no one seems to have it and I have been told that more than likely I will have to order it, which is no problem, however, it would be nice to see what I am ordering.......

I much have to agree...first post here. I just got my Jaguar XKR-S in italian racing red with the "carbon fiber" performance seats and red stiching. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Any advice on CLEAR BRA's to try and help maintain our paint jobs without chipping? I ordered by 2013 XKR-S on 6/23/12 and got it last week.

As far a clear bras goes, Premier protective films do a lot of the high end cars in SoCal.
Have fun pulling those paddles!
