What does Salsa look like compared to Caldera?

I'm assuming the Scarborough Jaguar British Edition V8R on the right is Caldera, though I never confirmed that. My Salsa is on the left.

Salsa seems to be the truer red, no doubt. Discontinued, huh?

yes. Only early versions of the 2016 have it. I have it on my car. I went in looking for a white one and test drove this one and told them I wanted to buy that exact car. Wasn't looking for a red car, but was optioned very well and gave me a great deal on it so had to settle for the salsa red. I am contemplating wrapping it though, but not too sure.

Sorry to necro this but I bought my XF last summer and was all set for IRR with Red/Jet interior- even had a couple lined up, but then I saw the Rsport in Blackberry on the lot, and it too had been sitting awhile and I snapped it up. It has jet/jet interior. Another area dealer had a regular one with Ivory interior but it was also not an R sport and had the chrome window surrounds. So mine looks slightly more murdered out but still with a little bling here and there.
And I love it. I get way more compliments on this than I did on my stunning Lunar Grey 2011 Xf. I never would have guessed that I would have liked it but when I saw it - I was WOW! Also, I too have never seen another in that color. In fact it's hard to even find pics. Googling the color brought me to this thread.


It looks more purple in full sun. Enjoy these pics!

I was on my way to buy a Black Berry when I detoured over to look at the one I got. Oops, sorry guys...
And the week before, a Black Berry sold before I could get there...
Haven't seen another Sapphire Blue yet though

I don't believe Jag is offering Xirallic paint anymore. Based on what I've seen, BRG and IRR may have been the only Xirallics. IRR dropped the Xirallic in 2016, and I think BRG dropped Xirallic for 2017. Note that there is no longer any mention of Xirallic on the Jag website.

My old Kyanite Blue XFR is a Xirallic colour.
At the time (2009-2010) Kyanite was available only on the XFR, and it was dropped at the 2012 model changeover in August 2011 due to the Fukushima incident in March 2011, as apparently Fukushima was the only place to source the special Xirallic pigments. It was re-introduced a couple of years later, then discontinued again a couple of years after that, presumably forever.

Yeah, I looked to see on the Jag website, but nothing.

Oz, I still think that Kyanite blue is one of the most dynamic colors I've seen on any car. Hope it went to a good home. Maybe on some future old car auction, it will be the car with the rare "xirallic" paint.

I am looking for the color code for the Blackberry color. I am re-painting my old 2005 XJL and am looking to paint it this color or as close to the color of the Jaguar Classics Nicko McBrains 1984 XJ6.

Any assistance would be helpful. I called Jaguar but I was informed that I needed the VIN of the car that is that color.

According to this site: https://www.paintscratch.com/touch_u...ar-F-Type.html
it is called Black Berry Pearl and the code is 2163/PMC.

Mine is called Black Berry Metallic. I noticed on the linked site that they reference both pearl and metallic shades, so I hope Oz is correct.

Crobertrod - please post pics when done.
It's discontinued on the 2018 Jags which is a shame because I totally wanted to get an Ftype in that color as my next one, but that's still 3 or 4 years out for me so maybe another color will come along and win my heart.

There are many shades of Rossa Corsa over the years from Ferrari (some with same color code) with some being a little too much in the orange range for my taste. My old 1995 F355 was Rossa Corsa and was definitely red, but not as deep as IRR.
Color Codes for RC

I like the blackberry color.
