ᐅ White and Anthracite – Where Does the Preference Come From?

I've noticed that many new houses are being built in white and anthracite, and that anthracite colors are often chosen for kitchens or bathroom tiles. As someone who prefers soft yellow-cream-white/soft yellow-cream-green or soft yellow-cream-light wood tones, I would like to know what you appreciate about the white-anthracite combination and whether anthracite has any depressing effect on your mood.
I'm also interested in what associations you have with this color scheme, what memories or impressions you connect with it. And in your opinion, has it always been exactly what you wanted and liked, or have you been inspired by the numerous current examples?
Feel free to share your thoughts freely and emotionally; I’m not sure if this question can be approached purely intellectually.

The challenge with the popular anthracite color – I assume we are talking about RAL 7016 – is its bluish tone. We revised our color scheme shortly before completion because, with the now naturally weathered façade, very few window colors actually match. In the shade, at night, and without other gray tones nearby, it simply appears dark gray. However, when exposed to strong light or, for example, a black surface, the color almost looks blue. Originally, we had planned a Schüller/Next kitchen in “lava black,” but that no longer worked visually, so we had to completely redesign.
A major advantage of the color is that the window frames “disappear” – from a distance, each window almost looks frameless, and from inside to outside, the effect is the same at night. We still need to find suitable wall colors soon, but so far, I really like the frame color.

I would love to have palm trees in the garden, but here in northern Germany, they probably wouldn’t survive for long. That really depends on your neighbors with anthracite-colored gravel instead of lawn—whether your neighborhood will get warm enough for palm trees.

Actually, we wanted to design our house roughly like this, but with a very dark gray pitched roof, wood-veneered windows, and slate-gray shading.
And now, guess what? The shading in that color is no longer available...
Now only white shades, bronze, and similar colors are offered, and...
anthracite!

Wood laminated? So, uPVC windows with a decorative foil applied?
It’s a pity if the shading system is no longer available.
You are already quite far along in the construction. Who is responsible for providing the shading, or who promised it? I would try to discuss how to still get my preferred color.

Yes, these are Schüco uPVC windows. Wrapping is always a bit tricky, but we were able to see the wraps in the showroom. They looked very good.
The window installer now wants to check which colors might still be available.
Edit: This is an architect-designed build with individual contracting, so changing suppliers at this stage is difficult.

You have surely signed a contract with the window manufacturer, right? I also don’t believe that a color would be painted without prior notice... they must ensure that the ordered product is delivered on the agreed date.
At first glance, the shading solution doesn’t seem to be something highly specialized. Perhaps another manufacturer can provide the color, or the current one could create a custom color for you.
For cables, I wouldn’t mind the color since they won’t be visible later, but for such a prominent element, I would try to get the ordered color you want.
