Color of the window sills - decision aid

Hello,

following situation: Bauhaus style; wooden windows inside with dark (brown-black) stain; aluminum windows outside in 7016 anthracite; gray-white facade (RAL 9002) with selected anthracite areas; anthracite venetian blinds

We are now going back and forth discussing the color of the window sills:

Alternative 1 (suggestion from our architect): gray-white, like the facade

+ blends in more, since it matches the facade
+ might be less noticeable when looking outside with the brown/black windows

- questionable if you can really get the same gray-white as the facade since it is a different material (we don’t want to introduce another color)
- you can hardly see it anywhere because almost everyone has RAL 7016 window sills (or sometimes aluminum gray) when windows are RAL 7016 outside

Alternative 2 (like almost everyone): anthracite, like the windows

+ identical to the window color since it’s the same material (aluminum)
+ many examples exist

- does not “blend in” as much
- might be more noticeable when looking outside with the brown-black wooden windows

What do you think about the architect’s suggestion or how did you solve it?

Best regards Jochen

Wow, those are the problems I would have liked to have had while building. I would take the anthracite... Nothing clashes when looking out, and it fits well into the overall picture from the outside.

Unfortunately, our architect does his job so well that we spend our time dealing with such issues...

I think it's good! That's how it should be

I would take the light ones if you also plan to furnish the house mostly in white and use light flooring. With dark flooring, I would take the dark windowsills.
