Facade paint - no agreement in sight...

Exciting. Thanks.

Please then post the final result

Yes, I wouldn’t go below an HBW value of 30, and for a darker color I would prefer a "Cool Pigments" material, which reflects the infrared radiation component that plays a decisive role in heating up.

What exactly is the HBW value? Hemoglobin??

The light reflectance value is a value that indicates the color brightness for facade paints, with 100 being pure white. I once looked it up because a company had specified a limitation on the choice of facade colors in their construction service description ...

Not easy... something you can argue about for a long time...
I'll just throw my opinion or some theses into the room

: More high-quality appearance?

Gray looks more like concrete... more high-quality would be this radiant white

Standard look, generally considered nicer? - Higher resale value?

Mainstream would be a white facade

Dark front door less prone to dirt

Yes, yes. Dust/birch pollen is clearly visible on dark surfaces. Inside, you can see fly droppings on white.

Cheaper (white windows cost us about 20% less)

Since they are not foiled, they are cheaper. Foiled ones with suggested wood grain look more high-quality in comparison

Facade does not look dirty as quickly?

But then it looks like no paint was available before the border opening.

Windows don't heat up as much (cracking/popping - we had that in the last house with dark windows)

We haven’t had that for the last 6 years.

More eye-catching look

Eye-catching is interesting, but doesn’t have to be nicer.

Maybe we can still distinguish ourselves with a special front door, e.g. wood (look) from the crowd.

Yes, I have thought about that too. In American renovation shows they do that quite often. The catch is again how far the man is willing to play along

So: I would choose white for the facade and then a different gray than anthracite. Light gray or there is a nice broken gray...
and because you leave the man his will with the white, you have the choice over windows and front door. For the front door, I would go for wood. We have one and it still looks as great as on the first day. Nice feel. Some also like to choose something eye-catching like red. Several here do that and it looks great.

I didn't expect so much feedback at all. That's why I don't want to withhold a draft from you. I'm too impatient, untalented with the facade configurator, so unfortunately there is only a white facade. The windows are quite light gray; I think I would prefer darker = anthracite.


We found this front door on the internet, which both of us like very much and which would at least be an eye-catcher (however, without a mailbox). Found at the company Fritzenschaft, which unfortunately is not located near us.

Wood is indeed a beautiful natural material, but unlike an aluminum door, it requires maintenance every few years and is susceptible to weather conditions (sun, rain, etc.)

That doesn't mean one shouldn't choose a wooden door, I just wanted to mention this. I also find almost all of them stylish
