Anthracite Grey is a dark charcoal grey that is widely considered one of the darkest greys. Anthracite gets its name from anthracite, a black rock with a metallic sheen. This sheen softens the rock's colour, making it appear dark grey rather than black. Arguably, anthracite is the closest colour to black without having to go completely black – making it a lovely addition to many homes.
Grey may seem like a relatively simple colour. In its softest tones, grey is subtle, versatile and able to complement the most striking items in your home. However, if you give the darker end of the spectrum a try, you'll see how striking grey can be.
One of the darkest shades of grey, dark grey is striking, dramatic and even moody. Whether used in large or small amounts, this colour is a sure-fire eye-catcher.
A surefire way to make your bedroom feel cozier? Ditch the classic off-white rug and opt for a dark, moody shade of anthracite.
You've made the bold choice to decorate with anthracite, so why hesitate now? Cover your walls with this color, or fill your space with floor-to-ceiling anthracite cabinets. Since this color isn't particularly bright, it won't make your space look crowded even when used in large quantities.
