Don't know exactly what you're looking for but when I was perusing my local Craigslist in PA underneath in the "nearby" section I saw that there is a 2009 XK Coupe (N/A) British green with caramel interior in Hudson valley New York with 11k miles on it. No affiliation.

Look at the Sales Brochures in the stickies at the top, the colors are listed in them:

I've only seen 2014 cars advertised, which is what mine is.

From the Nigel Thorley book - sorry the edge is blurred. I didn't want to crack the spine in the scanner. The headings for the last two columns are 2013 and 2014.

I hate to dispute Nigel’s great book, but the 2013 XKR I pictured above (post #30), was Italian Racing Red (CAH paint code).

No, it's my fault. I didn't scan the next page, which has the rest of the "specials", which include Speed+Dynamic Pack and Black+Dynamic Pack. Italian Racing Red was available for 2013 and 2014 production years for those variants. (and also Stratus Grey, apologies to XKDreams.)

I have the coupe with walnut. This color turns heads in the sunlight. I ruled out black until I saw one of these. Only used on the 2008 Portfolio.

I suspect Jaguar were fairly relaxed when they took orders towards the end of the line as my car (post #22 above) is a MY2014 in Italian Racing Red with the black pack, but not the dynamic pack - which contradicts Nigel's book...

Where is Shadow Grey? It was exclusive to the North American market 4.2L 2009 XKR Portfolio Edition models.

I want to know why "Pearl Grey" is very nearly black, while Lunar Grey is almost Hyper Silver. Maybe the color namers put a bit of vodka into their tea.

Thorley's book is very UK-centric. He makes mention of the 4.2 XKR Portfolio Edition in the book as being available from March 2007, with Celestial Black being the standard colour, and Liquid Silver being a UK (and Swiss) market option.

If it was an xkr I'd feel it was @ 5K too high, as an XK...I dunno, but it is pretty.

Ours is pearl grey, and in certain angles the paint has a pearl / purple look, in direct sunlight its a darker grey and in the shade its almost metallic black.

Beautiful XK.

Maybe it’s just me, but it is very hard to discern between Pearl Grey and Lunar Grey.
