Hello everyone,
we have a very simple two-stringer staircase over 3 floors in the new building (2 upper floors instead of a basement), similar to the picture here:
Our floor is oak parquet and the stair treads are also oak. Now we have to choose the color with which the staircase should be painted. Since we have white window frames, initially white walls, and also white doors, we would rather choose a gray/black to bring some contrast in, independently of furniture/pictures etc. Nowadays you often see "anthracite", our front door is like that too. On the inside, however, it is white and you first have to enter the living area to get to the stairs. My husband wants to take anthracite (RAL 7016), I’m a bit afraid that it will be too dark. In the color catalog, there is, for example, graphite gray (RAL 7024). That seems slightly lighter, but there are even more shades of gray and with the small color sample you can easily fall into the trap and end up with a brown, green, blue tint or something else unexpected.
Who knows their way around? Do most people just choose anthracite or who dared to go for something else? By the way, I find boring perfectly fine for such "long-term things".
Best regards
