And here is the original Jaguar Black Cherry - all the photos are of the same car, a 1992 V12 Vanden Plas (this was a model made for Canada only. The Black Cherry was exclusive to the last model year of production for which only 100 of these cars were built). You can see how lighting affects the perception of this very rich colour:
Almost "aubergine" in direct sun:
And here it looks almost identical to Caviar:
Beautiful, whatever the perception. This particular car is now in a collection in Beijing.

One more entry in the Rare Color Sweepstakes:
Jaguar released the XF in a color called Rosello Red that I LOVE.
In fact, it was available, though extremely rare, on my beloved XF Sportbrake wagon (which has proven to be an absolute rockstar in snow and ice, BTW). Someone said only 6 Rosello Red sportbrakes were sold in the US. Don't know where they got that number from, however.
Here are a couple of shots:

But I still say this color looks best when the body is smaller and sportier.

Hahahahaha!
Hey, not everyone out there can afford high performance in the luxury range. I have always respected when a company can produce a "budget" class car that's sporty and trim and as serious as its money can reach.
The Miata is, in its own way, one of the last of the line of true road-conscious cars. Abarth Spyder, Miata, XKR, XE,... the list is shrinking every year.
