ᐅ Facade Paint – No Agreement in Sight...

Good evening everyone,
my husband and I have been discussing for some time now which color our house’s exterior should be. It is a single-story house with a (converted) pitched roof, with the eaves side facing the street. The options are:
1. “Standard new build color combination”: roof, windows (and front door) anthracite, facade white
2. Roof anthracite, windows (and front door) white, facade gray. Similar to the example shown (found on the Pinterest page of Contract Vario)

Here are the advantages I identified for both options:
1: More premium appearance?
Standard look, generally preferred? – Higher resale value?
Dark front door less prone to showing dirt
2: Cheaper (white windows cost us about 20% less)
Facade may appear cleaner for longer?
Windows don’t heat up as much (popping/cracking – which we experienced in our last house with dark windows)
More eye-catching look

What are your thoughts?

A red roof is out of the question?
Between the two options, I would definitely find number 2 more pleasing to the eye. It simply avoids going with the usual standard look.

Number 2
We have that too. Only the front door is anthracite.

Option 3: Are you allowed to apply facing bricks?

I don’t like uniformity either, but with this (not meant negatively) standard house, I would stick to the standard precisely because of the resale value.

And white front doors somehow don’t look very high-quality, so definitely choose something different.

@Müllerin At least my husband and I agree on that. We don’t like red roofs.
@tumaa Brick cladding is not an option for us. I’m not sure if it’s even allowed or if it would be possible to install it over external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS / EIFS).
