[*]as said announced already in the Bloomberg article the cabin would be a departure from the current corporate colours into more warm tones as hinted by that pillow/cushion in the preview pic. Similar to how F departed from the old colours to the new ones, so be prepared to see a stark difference.
all 3 will be MUC based!

...in fact the seats are the same as per investor's info pic from the last year, but unfortunately seats will not be a departure from corporate colors, but only a switch from blue and silver to gray and brown, whereas the whole upholstery is light gray (in my opinion ugly). The seat shell is brown as per already published pic. The design on the published pic from November looks much nicer. I assume they had to change something, so they could say the pic wasn't the final product.

One might note that CX and US are 1-2-1 on their A330 equipment with their new C, and LX is 1-2-1/2-2-1 alternating. That space has to go somewhere- it's not like LH gets wider A330s than LX, US and CX. I would guess that like on UA new C on 777s (who also has B/E Aerospace kit in C), there won't be any stowage space and things will be cheek-by-jowl tight.
That being said, since I'll likely be booking this on award, LH C is about a billion times easier to book from the West Coast of the US than LX C... so beggars can't be choosers, and not losing C seats is good on that score...

There was a image of a glimpse of the new J in the Lufthansa magazine. The image, the woman covers most of the seat, but you can see a tiny bit of it.
Go to page 51, top right picture.

You said it yourself, it's changing from the blue, yellow and silver to brown and grey. The Lufthansa corporate colours are blue, yellow and silver/grey...
