Actually semi-aniline is the finishing process after tanning. Nothing to do with the colour.semi-analine is the red color in this photo
Equipment: 851A LEATHER/NAPPA/SEMI-ANILINE - BLACK/ANTHRACITE
black/anthracite is the black
semi-analine is the 'red'

Just a thought... do you think your car may have started life with an all black/anthracite interior, and then a previous owner might have painted parts of the interior red to create the 2-tone finish?
There are some parts of your interior that certainly appear, in your photo, like they may have been painted (such as the red dash trim, etc. - I'm not sure whether that was ever an option). If so, then your datacard won't tell you the correct red colour to use. You could check your V5 for previous owner (registered keeper) details and try contacting them to ask if they did it, and how... but, if it was done by an owner prior to that, then they won't be able to help either.
Here's a pic of my Designo interior too (clearly a different red to yours, but I thought I'd share to show what was colour-coordinated with the red leather bits)...

Yes, have had it confirmed now from the datacard, it is "classic red" and it was spec,d with Designo two tone interior, the red dash trim again is wrapped "Classic Red" leather inserts, not painted. I have had a look at the link and looks good, will probably order the set and have a go when the weather is a bit warmer ? There is some good YouTube vids of the process as well, looks like something I can tackle lolJust a thought... do you think your car may have started life with an all black/anthracite interior, and then a previous owner might have painted parts of the interior red to create the 2-tone finish?
