Anthracite Grey is the New Black15th August 2024
We have seen the popularity of colour Anthracite Grey (RAL reference 7016) increase rapidly over the past few years, to become the most requested colour other than specific whites, blacks and traditional variations on primary colours.
Anthracite practically conforms with almost any colour scheme and can work wonderfully on old and new properties alike. Anthracite is a chalky and earthy near black or very dark grey. Anthracite itself is a form of coal used in thermal power stations for generating electricity.
1. Why is Anthracite Grey the new Black?
Grey is a neutral colour that sits halfway between black and white, and so it's significantly easy to pair it with a contrast. Not only does Anthracite Grey look great with a matching frame, it also works really well with a different colour like French Grey or White. To enhance your garage or entrance door style and colour further, try adding a whole range of stainless steel handle and embellishment feature options, contemporary glass inserts, as well as windows with sand blasted or other effects for a truly beautiful finish.
These are some examples of garage doors in anthracite grey colour:

As a result of these facts, the colour has transformed the modern industry and Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) has developed into one of the most specified powder coating colours for entrance doors, garage doors and many of our outdoor living products, including veranda framework, awnings and canopy systems.
Anthracite Grey is the perfect door colour for a modern abode. But don't be put off if you live in a traditional property because this colour can add a contemporary twist to any home. It's such a versatile colour that it has become our most popular colour choice by far. Many manufacturers of entrance doors and garage doors also offer a textured paint version of anthracite which is not a RAL 7016 match, but a metallic or textured version that is similar to this grey colour, whilst also offering a tougher finish. Laminate foil options are also available, with minor variations on the colour.
