Anthracite Lateral Visor Question

I am planning on swapping out the lateral visor (the little extra one on the driver's side) for the 'Oh Crap' handle on the passenger side. I am ordering the visor from the dealer. The dealer said they can order them in Panther Black or Grey.

I am getting the anthracite headliner and I am afraid the grey is going to be the light grey color that is the standard headliner color.

Any input on this before I order?

Why would they not sell the anthracite replacement?

It's the headliner that is "anthracite", the visor is apparently "Panther Black", because it definitely isn't grey, and there are only two headliner options in production. Get the Panther Black one.

Yes, as I found out with my seats, "Panther Black" really means dark grey. Apparently it is a very OLD panther...
