Well, there's a wide range of variation amongst Carver anthracite gear, but I think both of those are way too dark.
838383 is a fairly close match to some of my M-500t's but you can't use paint to touch up an anodized faceplate.

The anthracite on this aluminum anodizing color chart from the 80's might be what Carver used.
 
The CI-78 and the C-45 look very familiar. The 1984 M500t that I sent details to you of,  seems to have the C-45 or C-0. The power switches vary between CI-78 and C-32.

   That's the thing. Mostly it is desirable to match these colors. Then there are times that you can get away with contrasting color or a close enough match that the eye doesn't get bothered by it. The real problem that I have  in any case is finding a coating that is durable enough for even normal use.

Yes only durable finish I can think of would be either a powder coating or an epoxy.

The color I have tried looks like the CI-75 in Z's chart. This is powder-coated.

Putting all three in one photo (Closest - Anthracite, Back - Flat Black,  Rear -  CI-75/Bronze. Excuse the dust bunnies).
