What on earth is an anthracite headliner and how does it relate to brown, gray, black, tan etc? Thanks.

actually anthracite is NOT black... anthracite is based on the anthracite which is a state of a specific coal... its grey but not pure grey.

Similarly, Carbon Black Metallic is a deep shade of blue, which clearly does not resemble carbon in most of it's elemental forms.

It looked like "charcoal" to me at the dealership. 
Although in creme beige, I'm glad I got the standard color liner although I wish it had the plushness of the antracite liner.
