How to Find Your 1996 Jaguar's Color Code

Jaguar paint color codes are usually on the drivers door jamb. On older Jaguar models, the color code can be ANYWHERE! Under the hood, in the trunk. Typical format: 1957/HGZ, which corresponds to Jaguar Racing Green Pearl. Some Jaguars will have the 1957 code but most will only show the HGZ code. Same color across models may have different names: Racing Clearcoat, Green Performance Clearcoat, etc. It's the same paint!

1996 Jaguar Background Info

The 1996 Jaguar Vibe

In 1996, Jaguar was finding its second wind. The XJ (X300) was proving that a Big Cat could actually be reliable, and the XK8 had just pounced onto the scene looking like an E-Type that had spent the last decade at the gym. It was a year of deep, executive confidence. Our database tracks 16 colors from this vintage, and let me tell you, it was the peak of the "Green and Gold" era. If you weren't rolling in Brooklands Green or Spruce Green Pearl, you were probably making a statement in Topaz Pearl Metallic. These weren't just colors; they were a lifestyle choice for people who appreciated a walnut-veneer dashboard and a smooth V8.

Paint Health Check

Listen closely, because 1996 puts this car right in the crosshairs of The Peeling Era. Jaguar had fully transitioned to basecoat/clearcoat systems by then, which gave the cars that deep, "wet" look when they left the showroom. But here's the rub: the clear coat tech of the mid-90s didn't always play nice with the sun. If your Jag hasn't spent its life tucked away in a heated garage, you're likely fighting "delamination." It starts as a faint cloudiness on the roof or boot before the clear coat begins to flake off like a bad sunburn. Once that clear lifts, the pigment underneath (whether it's Sapphire Metallic or Carnival Red) is defenseless against the elements.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a '96 Jaguar looking factory-fresh is simple: seal your chips before they turn into bald spots. On these mid-90s finishes, a rock chip is more than a cosmetic blemish-it's a breach in the clear coat's armor. Moisture gets in, starts undermining the bond, and before you know it, you've got a dinner-plate-sized peel. If you see a nick in that Kingfisher Blue Metallic or Morocco Red, touch it up immediately to lock the clear coat back down to the base. A little bit of attention today prevents a full-blown "cloud peeling" disaster tomorrow.
