Portofino Blue replaces Loire Blue, check out the Jaguar XE configurator if you want to see a sample. I also found a second hand F-type for sale online in that colour.
I've not seen it in real life yet, trusting the XE configurator, but signed the order for my MY20 PB D5 this morning. LB was dropped literally on the day that my MY19 order went in, great timing!
On the configurator it appears all but identical to Loire Blue.
The name of the grey escapes me.

Equilibrium, what are the differences between MY19 and MY20 D5? And are they already available to order then, new 3 liter petrol available as well?

So that's a good question Labbix, and I don't know the answer in full.
What I can see that my dealer has done is carefully transfer spec items onto the new order sheet, so where as I had simply tech plus pack on the MY19 order, my MY20 breaks out the items as well as listing the pack - all of this is presumably to ensure I get what I expect.
I've not seen a full spec list for MY20, as I assume a retail one does not exist yet.
My assumption is that there is a gamble at play for me here. MY20 could include as standard something that I now have as option and vice-versa. Likewise the list price could (surely will, on past form) rise. I've taken the view that locking in my price and key spec now is worth doing. It seems unlikely that anything key will be dropped from the standard equipment list - that would be more likely to happen when the facelift launches.
I think my dealer has been checking things with LR and put a lot of work into the order.
One thing I did note - privacy glass £400 in MY19 vs. £450 in MY20.
I'm told that the order now goes into a 'holding pool'. In answer to your are they ready to order question, I think the short answer is 'sort of'!

PS. Does anyone know when the forum gets a MY upgrade and a MY20 sub-forum will appear in the orders section
