It's highly unlikely that there are any actual photos since it's not yet being manufactured.

I was thinking it might be one of their older colors that they renamed. Guess not. Cecil..........

Not quite.
The 2015 UK F-Type catalog has some photos of yet-unreleased colors including the berry black and storm grey.

Also I believe some of the cars at the LA event may have sported new greys (and potential blacks).

I saw a picture of it on a car on the Web around the time if the LA show. Tried to google it now but too many hits. Don't think it was on this forum.

It looked really, really nice, very dark just like a blackberry, but certainly not black. Great metallic colour. Hopefully someone will come across it soon. Briefly considered it, but dark cars are too much work.

Found a video of it -- see next post.

Unlikely, but certainly possible. The "Blackberry" in that video could just as easily have been a black or graphite grey car, but maybe that's what they were going for--black with a berry tint at certain light angles.

I think on page 83 or 84 the picture shows a dark purple car that is probably the best photo of what it might be. Thanks to all of you for your great detective work. Cecil...........

Yes, that's exactly what the photo was like that I saw. The berry shows up at certain light angles.
