White or anthracite radiator?

I'm updating a crappy old 60s radiator that no longer really puts out any heat with a new one - nothing swanky, just a bog standard convector, but I have a choice of white or for an extra £50 I can have anthracite.

All the other ones I've had replaced are just white, but this one is in a room that I am painting dark pink (valspar pocketful of posies in case anyone's interested), walls and woodwork the same colour. The carpet will be mottled grey, and there won't be any white at all in the room.

I could paint the new white rad pink to match, but that would be a massive ball ache.

So my options are:
A) basic white rad
B) +£50 for anthracite
C) suck it up and paint white rad pink

What to do?

I think the anthracite sounds fab!

Anthracite. We've got anthracite rads all through the house and they look great (imho!)

I do think it'll look better in a deep pink room. But want to sense check before sinking extra dough in it 😂
