What color is this 1982?

Please help with color ID
I believe this is a Porsche color but what year and what is it called?
I don't see it on the "normal 82 colors" chart.
Dark charcoal gray. Almost like an anthrcite on modern german cars
Thanks in advance

what is the paint code on the little plate on drivers side door bulkhead (when you open the door)? The code will be something like (9x-xxx)

Thanks Guys

I think CPA nailed it. Too much charcoal in it for black metallic.
Some bonehead removed the plate long ago

My '80SC is very similar to your color. The color is factory paint to order in 1980 Mercedes Anthricite.

The paint code on this car is 624-9-3. Although your color looks a tad bit darker in color, but maybe it's just the lighting.
