RAL issue with 7038

Nicola Forrest
last year

Hi all. I have a dilemma and I need to make a decision this week. We have a 1990's house that we are getting the front rendered in an off white but leaving some of the cream brick exposed. The roof will remain brown. I need to decide on the RAL colour of the windows. I was thinking 7038 and I bought a tester but there is green in it. I would like a soft warm grey , nothing too dark. It has to be from the RAL colour chart - can anyone suggest anything? Many thanks

    A picture would help.

    Sorry I thought had added one. Here you go. So we are keeping the area of cream brick at the top left of the house.

    Are you thinking light grey?


    Ours are RAL 7040 and actually called 'window grey'

    Thanks Ruth. That looks smart. I have got a tester of that one coming so fingers crossed. It's so hard to make a decision!

    The downstairs (wooden) door was painted dark brown so I had some paint colour matched to RAL 7044 and painted it myself.

    Our windows are RAL 7044. Depending on the time if day and aspect of the house they can take on different shades. I read that a colour will appear two shades lighter when used outside and I think that is true so consider that when you are looking at colours swatches
