Plastic windows in anthracite or white?

One more question to the group about anthracite:
How does it look for you with exterior blinds, if you have any?
What color did you choose there if you decided on anthracite windows?

It doesn't really matter because when the blinds are closed, you can't see the frames anymore.
Ours are light gray; we also have an almost black clinker brick, where very dark blinds wouldn't look good visually.

Hello, we also have anthracite-colored window frames outside (RAL7016) and white inside, with external venetian blinds in silver...

It doesn't really matter, since you can't see the frames anymore with closed blinds anyway

I find it strange when, in the dark outside, that is evening/night, there is a bright surface on the window when you are inside. That's why anthracite, matching the window frame outside. If you were to look at it from the outside: none of our blinds are completely closed in the evening. Always half down or about two-thirds. That would probably look a bit "colorful" if you combined white blinds with differently colored window frames.

What makes the matter about 50 percent more expensive is that you should then use aluminum shutters (because of warping).

And we have it like that in the rental apartment and will do the same upstairs - gray roller shutters, colored frames. With us, the shutters are either fully open or fully closed, so there is no aesthetic question... At least not from the outside - inside I haven't thought about it possibly looking strange.

But that's probably because we have curtains and don't have to see the misery.

I find it unsettling when, outside in the dark, that is in the evening/night, there is a bright surface in the window when you are inside. That’s why anthracite, matching the window frame on the outside.

It can be just as unsettling the other way around: during the day you then have a dark mourning border around the glass, especially if the walls inside are also light. And I think during the day you look outside more often because at night you don’t see much anyway or the shutter is already down.
Since dark window frames also heat up more in the sun in summer, the frame could possibly warp; at least, this argument is often heard. However, whether this is still relevant today or whether the frame construction has improved, I cannot judge due to lack of experience with dark frames.
I think the color is also subject to a fashion trend. Most people follow the current trend, and when it changes again in a few years, they want to have everything different.
By the way, my neighbor is currently painting his dark wooden windows white. It’s simply a matter of taste. If I were building new, I would pay more attention to an overall harmonious appearance.
