Gray/Anthracite-colored windows - the new "white"?

That is definitely just fashion. Drive through new housing developments.

Fashion that has been establishing itself for a few years now.

The same discussion was already had about a month ago or so.

I didn’t find it, otherwise I wouldn’t have opened this post here. Besides, I didn’t want a discussion, just experiences/opinions.

I confess to having joined the fashion here: anthracite gray windows inside and out.

Don’t you think it’s no longer good or would you have done it differently in hindsight?

When did your spaceship land on Earth or how long were you in a coma that the fashion of anthracite windows seems new to you?

Read my post again. WHERE does it say that I assumed from very current times? It says "feels like every new building." I have also seen the windows in new buildings 3.5 or 8 years ago, but I never dealt with it because until then I wasn’t interested whether the inside color was different or not.

Or have you ever dealt with black and white cars, just because they have been on the road for many years, but you yourself drive a red car and have no intention of buying a different car...?

It's not just the windows, it's also almost exclusively dark roofs. The trend changes every 20 years, around 1970 all roofs were black, by 1990 only red until about 2005. From then on, black again. According to my forecast, red roofs again from 2025.

Haha yes that's true. We also have black roof tiles. A colleague chose wine red and I thought it was really good because hardly anyone has it at the moment.

It's ultimately a matter of taste. It would have bothered us.

Yes, I would have preferred dark on the inside as well. In the RH I had ebony-colored wooden windows – really classy
Regarding fashion: the RH was from 1978. My parents' house also has black windows, coincidentally also built in 1978

White is timeless.

Anthracite too All the shades of gray, ranging from white to 100% black are timeless. It’s a “color family”

That’s called a discussion. You’re right in the middle of it

you can also see the outer frames from the inside.... every time a window is open, you see the dark.

Thank you for the information. We hadn't thought of that. So far, we had light wood decoration outside, white inside, planned. Now everything will be white.

It's not just the windows, it's almost only dark roofs now.

The advantage of dark roofs is that the solar thermal modules do not stand out as unpleasantly. However, we will still decide on a red roof but hope that solar modules will soon be offered in other colors as well.
