Default how to determine color of lower speaker cover

Hi
Would like to find lower driver speaker cover for 97 xk8 coupe. But how do I find the color code for that panel? I have color code for car and interior but no code for that panel.

Do you mean the section arrowed in red which matches the main carpet arrowed in yellow .......





....... or do you mean the door panel colour?

Red arrow points to the lower speaker cover which I need a color for but

With Cream (NDR) seats, I'd expect either Sable (AEK) or Mocha (AMB) contrasting trim.

Colours are notoriously difficult to reproduce accurately on screen but the Furniture Clinic Jaguar colour chart may help you identify the shade:

See the 1990's - 2009 section.

Loren, I can't get a file to attach here. I have the Jaguar trim colors file, what trim colors are factory installed with chosen interior color.

If you want a copy, PM me. I'll attach it that way.

The recommended trim combinations are detailed in JEPC (Jaguar Electronic Parts Catalogue) as a PDF. See attached for 1999MY:












Buyers were free to choose whatever combination they wanted from the available paint and trim options. Some choices were less successful than others.
