Help with paint color

Don’t know this color, but I love it! Was this a factory color?

Keswick Green I think and yes.

Keswick Green, in the running for best Defender color ever.

It’s a solid color for sure. Mine are all white (alpine) but if I had to vote on best color I think I have to give my nod to Arles Blue. Keswick is awesome. Like most things Rover, you’ll rarely get a consensus on best

I like pastel green and series tan. But I like old colors. Trident is nice too. Keswick is too grey to my eye. Ymmv

A similar, and rather more famous (IMHO) green, is the Grasmere green. Just FYI. A little less grey.

I like that one. It’s a lot lighter than keswick too.

Two thoughts when I first saw Grasmere.

1. JLR made it awkward on the Heritage edition by overdoing it. The Chelsea tractor clear lights and fake galvanizing look stupid too.

2. It looks like chewing gum.

However, it looks a lot better on a normal-ish Defender. I still don't get the crystal lights trend though. It's not a Lexus.

I like light green.

Keswick Green with its gray undertones gives trucks a nice “understated modern” feel—goes well with Sawtooth rims, new style body panels, etc.

I first fell for NAS D90s in Consiston Green with white roofs years and years ago, so that’s my favorite, but is darker and definitely not as contemporary. Arles Blue at least used to be the most sought-after of NAS colors, but all of this is truly a matter of personal taste.
