Choice of window and roller shutter color

We will probably decide on the boring anthracite (outside) and white (inside) for this reason.

There are other colors than anthracite. Yes, it is actually boring. I have basalt with light gray roller shutters. Well, the windows also have delivery times that go on forever.

There are other colors besides anthracite. Yes, it is actually boring. I have basalt with light gray shutters. Well, on the other hand, the windows also have delivery times that are unbelievably long.

Of course there are, and we would like to choose others. But since almost all of them are special colors, we only see them during installation. And there is a great risk that we won't like them then.

First, there are samples and secondly, you can actually make the effort to go out of the house and look at other houses. You will be amazed, especially in new development areas, that there is more to see than just anthracite ;)

So you immediately assume that we didn't make the effort? Bold claim...
I estimate we looked at about 300-500 new houses. Over 95% of German new-build houses have white or anthracite windows. The rest were Golden Oak, a few times green...
In Poland it is a bit different. There, well over 50% of the windows are either Golden Oak or Winchester-colored. We didn't even see any "experimental" colors in our area (Berlin-Brandenburg).

And yes, there is always a small sample about 15x10 cm in size. But that doesn't tell us how it actually looks when all the windows are covered with it. Windows in many colors are rarely found at the window manufacturers, as these are only made on request, since they are special colors.

This ultimately means either you dare the experiment that you won't like in the end, or you play it safe with the "boring" combinations.

There are other colors than anthracite. Yes, it is actually boring. I have basalt with light gray roller shutters. Well, the windows do have delivery times that are ridiculously long.

So whether basalt or anthracite - it all looks almost the same, doesn't it? Does it really look completely different then? I can't see any significant difference from a distance.

Indeed. Huge difference from anthracite :cool: The biggest difference is probably in the name.
