Matte Metallic Anthracite vs Matte Metallic Charcoal

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Matte Metallic Charcoal (#454442) reads darker than Matte Metallic Anthracite (#707573), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Matte Metallic Anthracite lifts them. Both films carry a metallic finish, so the choice is purely the colour. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

Matte Metallic Anthracite vs Matte Metallic Charcoal: the differences.

The first difference between Matte Metallic Anthracite and Matte Metallic Charcoal is depth: Matte Metallic Charcoal reads darker, so it hides body lines that Matte Metallic Anthracite shows. The second is not the finish: both are metallic films, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.

Matte Metallic Anthracite is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #707573. It renders with a metallic finish — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to pick.
