I'll be buying a white '05 Gt this fall and I was leaning toward dark charcoal over the mediumm parchment for the interior color. I was wondering how dark the dark charcoal is? how close is it to black? Thanks

The dash, door panels, an so on, will look darker and closer to black if Armorall is applied. Similar with the leather if it is treated.

Dark Charcoal is not black. It's close, but it is more accurately described as dark grey. I have black leather in my '96 and it is black as coal. I have a buddy with a '99 that is dark charcoal, and it is noticably not as black as mine.
I'll be getting dark charcoal when it comes time to get a 2005+ on my car, but only because it's as close to black as I can get. I'd prefer a true black, but whatever.

About as dark gray as you can get without it being black ... But it isn't black. My Mach 1 interior is not anywhere near as black as a friends 98 Cobra BLACK interior.
Defintely dark, very dark though ... And most people will call it black without thinking about it.

eh...
i did this in photoshop, to try and get charcoal gray and black side by side. i'm just guessing on how dark the charcoal is, but you can really see a difference when they are side by side.
hope this helps.
if i'm way off on the color let me know. i think it's around 90% black, as far as shades of gray go.

Yeah, the color on the left, also called "Almost, somewhat, kinda-like, but not completely like, Black" is pretty much what Charcoal gray looks like. Good comparison.

From the Kingsford website:
"The Kingsford Company was formed when E.G. Kingsford, a relative of Ford's, brokered the site selection for Ford's new charcoal manufacturing plant. The company, originally called Ford Charcoal, was renamed Kingsford® Charcoal in his honor. "
See, there ya go
oh, and this excerpt
"On Ford's 100th birthday, to celebrate, Ford named one of its interior colors "dark Kingsford charcoal", but with the fear that people would think the leather was actually flamable, they renamed it "dark charcoal".
