Hello everyone,

Does anyone have anthracite-colored windows (RAL 7016) paired with Braas Tegalit roof tiles?
Which color did you choose?

The windows will definitely be in RAL 7016. We would also prefer the roof in RAL 7016. Braas itself doesn’t have exact RAL colors but says their tiles are similar to the following colors:
RAL 7022 Braas Granite Grey
RAL 9017 Braas Deep Black
RAL 7011 Braas Slate Grey

Obviously, we have to make the decision ourselves. What are your impressions?
The roof will be a staggered shed roof with slopes of 35° and 45°. The rest of the house will be white plastered and partially clad with façade panels (either grey or grey wood look).

@Lanini what is the pitch angle of your roof?

To be honest, I wouldn’t worry too much about the color. You will really only see your roof from a distance. Whether it’s black or granite probably won’t make much of a difference.

Yes, I also think it is not that important. I will just wait until the samples arrive, and then some decision will surely be made. Thank you.

If in doubt, I would prefer the roof to be in a darker tone than the windows – but if the difference is only very slight, I wouldn’t mind. For example, if the only difference is between "7016" for the windows and something like "similar to 7016" for the roofing, meaning just within the manufacturing tolerance of the tile color. Additionally, the eaves are between them. Therefore, it’s hardly possible to perceive “identical” and “almost identical” as disturbing. For that reason, I would avoid choosing a roof color that is clearly much darker just to be safe. However, I wouldn’t opt for one that is lighter than the windows.
