Anthracite Metallic is a dark, cool charcoal grey metallic — the name precisely describes the color's character: the deep, dark grey of anthracite coal, the densest and most carbon-rich form of the mineral. Without a confirmed paint code in the current database records, this entry likely represents a historical or cross-referenced color. One documented community example places it in the historical record. The color's dark, neutral character would suit any era of Porsche production.
