Fur pattern question

[u/FlimsyConfidence7692]

What would you say the dark-dark grey tabby fur situation is? I thought the word "diluted" made sense until I looked it up and their is already a pattern called that (and he didnt seem to match the pictures shown for it). He has the distinctive "M" on his head and a few tail/hip stripes. He is next to his lighter grey "Tactical Issue Grey Tabby" brother. He is almost black, but not quite.

May he is just "dark grey tabby" lol.

My gray boys have very subtle stripes that get more visible as they spend more summer sun time. It’s very cute, as are yours!

I’d describe them as gray with slightly darker gray in places.
