Thanks for clarifyng mere girl!
saira, looking forward to seeing your pics!!
I have to mention what a difference a monitor makes in deciphering color. My ACER laptop crashed and I am using both an old Dell laptop and my Dad's Desktop which has a Samsung monitor. The ACER and Dell show blue tones in the S/S RGGH Anthras posted but the Samsung monitor shows the color as pure grey. F/W RGGH Anthra picks up blue tones on all the monitors but less blue on the Samsung than the other two.
2010 Anthra SGH photographs pure grey on the Samsung with very subtle hints of blue on the ACER and Dell.
I am thinking the Samsung monitor is probably better quality and more accurate than the others. This sucker (which I'm using right now) is huge and the resolution is crystal clear! I can see the hint of blue in Kimair's S/S Anthra RGGH Work on this monitor but only because the bag was photographed outside in the sun.

When the SA at Holts pointed out the Anthracite bags to me, I was shocked at how much gunmetal blue I saw but I agree that these bags are blue-er with the RGH. Personally, if I were lucky enough to ever get an Anthracite Bal bag, I'd prefer pure greyish. Having said that, I am also drooling over the Canard with RGH

My F/W 2010 Anthra (RH City) is very much a straightforward, dark steel gray. There might be the slightest hint of blue in certain lights but it really just looks gray. I posted photos in my reveal thread - I'm attempting to link to it below but this will be my first try at that so sorry if it doesn't work!

Gulp! that is a gorgeous Bag!!
I will post my Anthra tomorrow. Got it in RGGH and it's an incredible combo.
I definitely think it looks gray, but with the RGGH it does have a bluer tinge.

saira, must i say that your bag is absolute perfection!the leather, the hardware, the color (imo fw10 anthra is beyond gorgeous!)
Thank you, dear! I'm smitten
Wow gorgeous bag. Where did this one come from?
i have a s/s RGGH anthracite work, and i would say it has very faint blue undertones, but it is essentially a true charcoal grey...
i notice the undertones more when it's in direct sunlight...
from what i've seen, like roey said, the s/s and f/w anthras with RH are more of a truer charcoal than the GSH and RGGH versions...
Oh! I want your bag: Anthra Velo 
When I recently looked at the Anthra stock at Holts (they are almost sold out) they looked almost pure grey with mild green-teal undertone. 1 bag was the giant city GSH. The other 2 had RH.
The more I discuss this and see all these photos, the more I want one
