What colour to paint the exterior walls of house to tone or contrast with cream windows?

10 years ago

We have installed new windows that are a cream colour (RAL 9001 to be exact). My husband and I are unsure should we go darker to contrast the cream or best to try and match near to the cream colour of the windows? Sorry no photo as house is surrounded by scaffolding right now and the windows are covered in a protective tape!

I have the same dilemna and am going to go for a slightly darker colour to contrast. Have you heard of / seen a color called Soft Avoca?

I would go deeper in color than the windows. Don't know what else you have to match up with, but I like a slightly deeper tan or taupe color.

I would go for a stone colour so not too dissimilar to what you've got. Little Greene does a good stone colour too but will work out a bit expensive. This is Oxford stone by farrow and ball. If you were doing the windows and front door then maybe an old white with door and windows in french grey

I think the heather and sage tones will work well together. Putting rugs under dining tables isn't that practical for clearing up if you have kids or grand kids. I also like the sound of the yellow, but it would have to be very pale. Grey might work better, good luck x

I agree with slightly deeper. Too deep could be too much contrast.
