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).

Thank you for the response, but my question was focused on the original poster’s issue: window color RAL 7016, white house, and now the suitable roof color needs to be chosen. The roof will be covered with Braas Tegalit tiles, so slate gray or granite are the main options under consideration.

Tegalit, nice roof tiles!

Granite has a yellowish tint, while Slate Gray leans toward blue.

The decision is yours.
I don’t think anyone remembers “their” exact color once their house is finished.

We have the combination with granite, and I find it perfect. The house is a very light, warm gray.

The granite tone is more of a warm gray, but it definitely doesn’t look brown. Overall, it looks very harmonious. We also used color 7016 for the soffit.

The windows in 7016 are such a dark gray that any slightly lighter shade matches well. I would rather avoid black; I imagine the gray windows might look washed out next to it. Besides, I don’t really like black that much.

Many thanks for sharing your experience. In the end, when it comes to personal taste, you can only decide for yourself.
But today I took the samples outside; slate gray looks too light, black is definitely out of the question, so we’re settling on granite.
Do you have a picture of your house? Roof underside 7016 seems to match the granite color quite well.

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

Exactly because of this comment, you shouldn’t spend too much time worrying about the color. Choose what you like better and move on to the next decision.

At night, all cats are gray – I think the same basically applies to samples viewed outside in winter.
