Window color problem

8 years ago

I need help fast. I am about to spend thousands of dollars 4000 to be exact to get my windows a custom color ( snowbound white- Sherwin Williams ) to match the exterior painted brick. The white color the windows from factory come in ( free ) is very very close to the Snowbound white color I picked for exterior yet may appear in certain light a more yellow undertone not clear and crisp. I am not good with color. I will have trees around my house and porch roof creating shadows etc on the windows throughout the day. The house has tons of windows bc of the colonial style with Eagle - Anderson's architecture windows and black shutters - so will I notice the difference and it destroy the look of the house I am building? What is your take on matching windows with exterior paint ? The photo shows a board painted with Snowbound ( exterior color) and a window in other color.

I agree, I think there are other places you could use the $4000, and don't forget, with double hungs, the screen is on the outside, so that will "block" the view of the color difference even more. Also, I'm thinking the painted brick will have all sorts of pits and pores and texture (which the board does not) which will disguise the color even further. And once you go through a year of weather, no one will notice except for you.

Render & Window colour decisions. Advice on 1930s semi - curb appeal?
Q

Looking for help in choosing colours for Windows and render. It’s a 1930s semi. We’ll be externally insulating it and looking for a textured wet dash finish. We love our white plinth and intend on reinstating it. I’m not a fan of the anthracite grey that’s in at the moment, so will probably favour a lighter colour window. Our window supplier has suggested RAL 9002. Not sure on wet dash render colour, off white/light grey. Any thoughts? We’ll be adding a side/rear extension too which will have a smooth render finish.

What colour windows/fascias for exterior
Q

Hi, We’re changing windows and fascias/soffets in an upcoming renovation. We’re also taking out the cement shingles on the second floor and insulating behind and replacing with horizontal cedar wood. Really liking grey windows but cannot decide what grey, anthracite or a lighter grey? Do I get matching fascias etc? Should I paint the cedar wood a colour or just stain it? Will I get longer out of it if we paint? Any advise welcome 🙏
