I need some advice.

From the start, I wanted an anthracite roof with anthracite windows and front door.
In all the quotes, the windows were always offered with an extra cost of 3000-4000 euros (approximately 3200-4300 USD).
That was too much for us, so I ruled it out.
Then there was the zoning plan that only allowed red to reddish-brown roof tiles.
As a compromise, I agreed on dark brown roof tiles.
Now, however, I have been offered anthracite windows and door for only 1000 euros (about 1070 USD) extra.
I would like to have that.
But does it match with the dark brown roof?

I wouldn’t go for it. On one hand, I don’t find the combination with the reddish roof attractive, and on the other, I now find this standard gray RAL 7016 (if that’s what it is…) incredibly boring. However, the choice likely depends a lot on the facade of your house… it would be helpful if you could say something about that.

Well, there is nothing red on the roof.
If there is a gray from algae, it is a kind of gray with beige.
With anthracite windows, I would opt for a slightly lighter shade.

This is not my house. Just imagine it with a white plaster finish. I don’t think it looks bad.

Maybe the , is actually brown, but it looks almost black.
Perhaps I could get that approved by the building authority / planning permission office.
It is officially listed as brown by Röben.
