When I first opened it, I thought it was maybe satin black myself. But closer inspection, it's definitely not black. I did take the pictures on a very overcast day as it's been pretty overcast in Southern CA the past 2 weeks. I ordered satin anthracite originally based on above picture on various sites; however, I started having second thoughts if it was maybe a bit too light with my chrome delete and I thought about switching my order to satin black. I did double check the box, and it says satin anthracite, so unless someone in China royally screwed up the color palette...lol. Personally, I think whoever Brixton's digital picture editor was, probably over did the lighting effect so that the wheel definition and details show, and so the pictures look much lighter than the actual product (same with the satin black). I remember BMW's Mustard Yellow M3 was completely different in their marketing materials compared to the actual car color.
Perhaps
@EVS Motors can confirm with their inventory batch?
Also, the interesting thing is that my invoice from Brixton lists the RF7s finish as satin gunmetal. The picture of the sample/prototype RF7 they sent me had a label on it as forged charcoal. Between satin anthracite, satin gunmetal, forged charcoal, I asked the sales guy at Brixton what color was it. Didn't get a straight answer, something along the lines of forged charcoal was the name the coating company used, satin gunmetal was their internal color name they used, and their marketing department wanted to go by satin anthracite. I was fine with any of it, so I just rolled the dice on it.
Anyways, I'm pretty happy that it turned out darker than the original online pictures since I was considering switching to satin black even though I didn't want a completely black set of wheels for myself. Once it gets sunny again, I'll try to take some pictures in direct sunlight. It may be awhile since it seems like it's going to be gloomy weather in SoCal for awhile.
