I grew up in a town in the Anthracite region of Pennsylvania (Pennsyltuckey). There is no gray in Antracite, it is a shiny black, sometimes it even peacocks and turns a rainbow of colors.
Definitely true and plain to see in every natural history exhibit, however I believe that if we are talking an industrial color and a thing manufactured in Germany where RAL is king, 'anthracite' most likely means RAL 7016 'Anthracite gray'. In my former workplace (aluminium and pvc window factory) this used to be a pretty standard color for both powder coating and plastic film, but I looking around get the feeling that it is pretty common in other industries.
So in this context I believe most people mean the hex code of (for some reason I can't paste a link to the kind of site that generates these colors, but they'd be distorted on most monitors anyway):
