Default Anthracite paint code

I've decided to repaint my alloys anthracite.
Does anyone know the paint code or a car colour what will match?
I've seen Ford Magnum Grey and it seems a decent match.

anthracite like many colours has many shades mate down to your personal choice.

or are you trying to match a subaru anthracite?

either way, if you're doing them from scratch pick a colour you likei'm in the same boat, i'm going to a refurb place this week to check out what their 'anthracite' looks like!

I know what you mean, I wondered if anyone had used a colour and what the result was like. Its difficult to pick a shade from a paint tin lid.
Looks like Magnum grey then.

i use a touch up pen from halfords on my current anthracite wheels and that's a renault tungten grey (i think!) darker than what's on there and does look really nice

if you're in no hurry i could post up the pics of my refurbed ones and i would assume they'd be able to give me a colour code/name?

I'm hoping to do them this week, if the weather is kind,
I dont want to go too dark though, I'll try a touch up pen first to get an idea of the shade.
Post a pic up, it would be a good comparison, and I'll do the same.
