Morie is lighter than Charcoal. Charcoal is a flat jet black no variation in color. Morie looks better 95% of the time

Gary - we just put in the Moire Black and it looks very nice. We were having a hard time choosing between black and gray and the Moire Black is a great compromise - it doesn't read like a jet black but more like a very dark gray. We're planning to paint the house a medium gray but I think it would go well with a lot of paint colors.
