What colour is anthracite grey?

Anthracite is a dark shade of grey with a chalky texture and blue undertones. Often mistaken for charcoal, anthracite grey is a deeper shade and, in some lights, can almost appear black. It’s neutral nature allows it to blend seamlessly into a variety of interior and exterior design schemes. And while it can exude an industrial vibe, it can also complement soft, neutral or warm and rich colour palettes, making it a perfect choice for homeowners looking for flexibility.
