    +1 for anthracite, from a distance gloss black looks like you're running steelies and youve lost your hubcaps!

    Really liking the ford graphite grey. Do you as the customer normally have to supply the paint if you want a certain colour? If so from where and how much? Cheers

    In the strictest sense anthracite is a gloss black.

    The name comes from anthracite coal, which is a black coal of glossy appearance.

    It gets misused as a colour description though, and can mean anything from a medium grey to black, and dark greys with subtle tints are sometimes called anthracite too.

    to summarise, black/anthracite/grey/gun metal gray/satin black/gloss black/medium black/coal black and ford graphite grey mean not a lot. it is purely interpretation by the person doing them LOL
