Paint colours & interiorsLast updated: 18 June 2012 The L322 offered a deep palette of paint and a luxurious choice of leathers and wood that grew richer over the years — especially on Vogue and Autobiography. Special editions added exclusive colours all their own. [ ▲ ] Photo: L322 in a feature colour (e.g. Santorini Black / Buckingham Blue) add image here Key takeaway: Paint codes are on the VIN/chassis plate. Popular shades like Santorini Black and Buckingham Blue suit the car's character; check the code before ordering paint.
Paint coloursThe L322's palette evolved over its life — some colours ran the whole production, others were specific to the earlier or facelift years, and special editions had exclusive hues. Land Rover paint codes are a three-digit serial (later cars also carry an "LRC" code); you'll find the code on the VIN plate or driver's door jamb. Swatches below are approximate representations for guidance.
Edition-only colours
FINDING YOUR CODE
The paint code is on the VIN plate (radiator support / under bonnet) or the
driver's door jamb — e.g. "798" for Zermatt Silver. Later
cars use an "LRC" prefix; the suffix letters (e.g. PAB, LKH) appear on pre-painted parts.
NOTE ON SWATCHES
The colour squares above are approximations to give a rough idea only. Metallic and pearl
finishes look very different in real light. Always check against a real panel or an official
paint chip before ordering touch-up or respray paint by name.
Interior trimsLeather colours spanned light and dark themes, frequently two-tone on higher trims and editions. Approximate swatches:
From the 2007 update, the old BMW-era premium seats were dropped in favour of new higher-quality leather in different grains, with revised seats resembling the Range Rover Sport design. Heated seats became standard across the board; cooled/climate front seats were standard on supercharged and higher trims. Common two-tone combinations included Jet/Ivory, Jet/Pimento and claret/jet (35th Anniversary). Wood & veneersWalnut was the traditional choice, with the 2007 update adding more wood inserts to the doors and centre console in a nod to original Range Rover style. Higher trims and editions offered extended veneers (e.g. extended walnut on Holland & Holland), and later cars offered new wood and leather colours (2011). Changes by era

TIP
Light interiors show wear and dirt; check bolster and seat-base condition. Confirm all the
electric/heated/cooled seat functions work. Repairs on multi-way climate seats are costly.
