I think that's Parchment with Cream piping. Unless the light's weird on the interior photos in which case it could be Coffee. but I think it's got too much of a grey / green tinge to it, so Parchment for me,

Being nerd-like and checking the Celebration brochure, another contender could be Nimbus grey, which in the brochure looks less grey and more olive-ish. If I had to bet on this, I'd agree with Paul and opt for parchment.

I would say, those are different colours on those 2 cars.

I still think the first one is Parchment, but the Essen one definitely seems to be Coffee with Cream piping.

Either way, neither of them are Antelope which was used as a fascia colour, but not as a seat colour, on late XJSs, except for V12s where it could used as a piping colour!
