Caviar - what does it look like in real life?
Has anybody here seen a caviar XJ? Can you describe the color to me? The pictures I have seen on line range from burgundy to dark brown? I'm also interested in the contrast between the bodycolor and the black pillar on the sides of rear windshield
thanks
thanks

As you'ved described it, "ranging from burgundy to dark brown", is fairly accurate. Caviar is one of the "Xirallic" paint choices (extra sparkly, multi-hued metallic flake paint). Caviar looks brilliant in bright sunlight, refracting flashes of maroon and burgundy hues, but can appear a little dull and mousy under overcast skies. Unlike Indigo (another Xirallic paint), which registers as nearly black under less-than-sunny conditions, Caviar just looks brown. With Caviar, the black C pillar never quite disappears under any lighting condition(if the pillar bothers you).
It's a beautiful color IMHO - check out YouTube if you're interested in seeing Caviar under various lighting and weather conditions (too many examples).

Thanks guys. Anybody else - particularly as to the "dull," "mousy" "just looks brown" appearance. I don't want a brown car but think a burgundy or deep purple would look cool
Caviar was one of my top color choices - my first test drive was in a Caviar XJ, unfortunately under inclement conditions. Yeah, it appeared brown, but not in an off-putting way, and I'm certain I would've been happy with that choice had I bought Caviar.
Watch the CNET review of a Caviar XJ SS performed under inclement conditions, and shows a fair representation of Caviar (at least on my monitor). 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport - YouTube
