Choice of window and roller shutter color

Indeed. Huge difference compared to Anthracite :cool: The biggest difference is probably in the name.

Have you seen both live? Probably not, because, as already wrote, there is actually a clear difference. We originally wanted to use primarily RAL 7012, but the roller shutters in this color tone would have been disproportionately expensive for our taste, so we decided against it.

What about silver-colored (aluminum) roller shutters? Guide rails in the window color, because otherwise, when the roller shutter is up, three colors can be seen, and since the roller shutters are mostly in the dark outside, a third color is not necessarily disturbing.

So we have the color 7016 outside and white inside. We chose the roller shutters in natural aluminum. It fits very well with the white plaster and the almost black, glossy roof.

Hello everyone,
we are currently also facing the decision of choosing the window frame color.
Our builder offers Veka windows as standard.
Our brick is very light. Therefore, we tend to choose dark frames. And yes, there are significant differences in the anthracite tone. RAL7016 has a bluish tint, which we do not like. A darker alternative is RAL7021. Unfortunately, this color is not offered by Veka. The next color tone is Jet Black, basically black.
Has anyone chosen the color Jet Black? If yes, which roller shutter color (Roma Standard) was combined with it?
Schüco, for example, offers the color 7021. Are the windows on average more expensive compared to Veka?

Our brickwork is very light. We therefore tend towards dark frames. And yes, there are significant differences in the anthracite shade here. RAL7016 has a blue tint, which we do not like. A darker alternative is RAL7021.

Well, you could just try a lighter alternative, possibly even RAL 5008 gray-blue, which is kind of 7016 without the anthracite tint ;-)

Schüco, for example, offers the color 7021. Are the windows more expensive on average compared to Veka?

I think between Schüco and Veka it would depend on the dealer which way the difference would go. And Kömmerling is also still available, to name a third from this league. It should by now be well known that I recommend Gealan for "colored" PVC windows because of the co-extrusion instead of foiling.

RAL7016 is blue-tinted, which does not appeal to us.

But only in comparison. Viewed separately, a "normal" anthracite.
