- BOARD
- COAL
- PLATINUM
- GRAPHITE

Once again, it took me a little while to figure out what the first answer was and confirm the theme of today's Strands puzzle, but once I had it, the answers fell into place perfectly.
It's actually a nice little puzzle that I solved mostly by looking around my room and thinking “What color would that describe? Maybe CHARCOAL? Okay, let's try that” until I had them all. Getting the spangram, GRAYSCALE, certainly helped me out and overall this was on the easier side of things.
