Can anyone advise on the difference in shade between the metallic and non-metallic for anthracite?

I am quite keen on this colour for the new fabia vRS ( if Skoda price it right! ) with a silver roof . I do see a very close comparison to the mini park lane which is royal grey in colour.

However, and I do appreciate that photographs can be deceiving, but is one anthracite darker than the other??

Also, is the anthracite grey exactly the same for the fabia and octavia?

Help with this is much appreciated!

Thanks

Bingo

Its the same Anthracite Grey on ALL Skoda models

Heres mine..it has a bluish tinge

Wow, that looks fantastic, just like I hoped it did! The thing is ,the colour looks a lot darker when you look at some photos, I did start to wonder whether there was a 'non-metallic' anthracite which looked darker.

Any chance you could show me a side and rear view, you have taken the photos in the correct daylight ,more than I can say for most!

I also notice you don't have a coloured roof, but could be persuaded to have the same colour throughout.

I have swapped and changed potential colour choices for my 'potential' new Fabia vRS more times than I've had birthdays, but anthracite looks the most attractive!

Cheers for that.

It has a definite blue hue to it. IDK if non metallic Anthracite is real.

After seeing all the pics now of Anthracite ,I'm not sure it is anything like the Mini Park Lane 'Royal grey colour'...................I certainly don't think a silver roof quite goes with anthracite!

Think my preferences are whittled down to two..... black magic/silver roof/silver wheels or race blue/black roof/black wheels.

............IF, the price is right!!!

Cheers for those Chris, appreciate all the photos on this thread from all!

Yes, I realise you can't have a coloured roof on the octy, but you CAN on the fab vRS

My conclusion is it's not quite the colour I hoped it would be.......however it looks good on yours......and the other chaps!

Here are some photos of anthacite gray on a fabia.

very nice, is that a white or silver roof, maybe it does go with anthracite after all?!
