Paint colours & interiors

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.

In short: 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 colours

The 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.

Colour	Code	Typical years
Santorini Black (metallic)	820 / LRC820	2008-2012 (and L405)
Java Black (pearl)	807	2003-2008

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 trims

Leather colours spanned light and dark themes, frequently two-tone on higher trims and editions. Approximate swatches:

Swatch	Leather	Theme
	Parchment	Light / cream
	Ivory	Light
	Sand / Almond	Light tan
	Tan / Aspen	Mid brown
	Charcoal	Dark grey
	Jet	Black
	Pimento	Red accent (e.g. Jet/Pimento)

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 & veneers

Walnut 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).

Buying notes

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.
