We have had the following (not always positive) experience when choosing colors:

Definitely start determining the color early. For us, the topcoat had already been applied when we changed our minds and decided to paint the facade in a beige tone instead of white. But which beige? The search began, and in the end we had 6 different color patches on the wall, none of which we liked on the white background. Either too muted or too colorful. Each color patch cost us days(!) until the color was reordered and applied again. We probably would have a spotted house now if we had not received the tip to apply the color over a large area between two windows. Only then could we immediately decide on a darker color.

For the rough determination of the direction it should go, actually bring color samples to facades you like. However, the color samples ALWAYS differ, as described above, from the actual facade.

Thank you very much for the tips, especially looking at houses and asking if you like them is probably a good way. We have now looked at quite a few things again. For the metal coatings (especially window frames) we were able to see some options live that are suitable. It looks like it will come down to DB703. It also has the advantage that the color is practically part of the standard.
