Good evening everyone,
my husband and I have been discussing for a while now which facade color our house should have. It is a single-story house with a (converted) gable roof, with the eaves side facing the street. The options are:
1. "Standard new build color combo": roof, windows (and front door) anthracite, facade white
2. roof anthracite, windows (and front door) white, facade gray. More or less like in the example picture (found on the Pinterest page of Contract Vario)


I have identified the following advantages for both variants:
1: More high-quality appearance?
Standard look, generally considered nicer? - Resale value higher?
Dark front door less prone to dirt
2: Cheaper (white windows cost us about 20% less)
Facade does not get dirty as quickly?
Windows do not heat up as much (cracking/popping – we had that in our last house with dark windows)
More striking look

What is your opinion?

red roof is out of the question? So of the two suggestions, I would definitely find No. 2 easier on the eyes. Just to avoid going along with this standard mush.

No. 2
We have that too. Only the front door is anthracite

Option 3: are you allowed to clad with bricks?

I don’t like the lack of variety either, but with this (soll nicht abwertend sein) standard house, I would stick to the standard, precisely because of the resale value. And white front doors somehow don’t look high-quality at all, definitely use something else there.

At least my husband and I agree on something We don't like red roofs.
Brick slip tiles are out of the question for us. I don't know whether they are allowed and whether it would even be possible on an ETICS.
