ᐅ Anthracite Windows – Which Roof Color?

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?

Roof tiles: Creaton Futura dark brown glazed

Hi, we originally wanted brown windows and a front door as well. But later it turned out that matching the other elements was not that easy. For example, the garage door, roller shutter tracks, etc. That’s why we switched the windows to anthracite since almost all the other components are available in anthracite, often without extra cost. We chose a red roof to go with it (also because it’s the only red roof so far in our new development area).
I really like the combination now, but of course, it’s a matter of personal taste.

Hello bordeepuschel, we are currently looking for roof tiles and came across a picture of your house online. We really like the roof color and would like to ask which roof tiles (manufacturer, model, and color) you have. Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards

Hello borderpuschl, we are currently building a single-family house and find this combination really successful as well! Would you happen to have the name or manufacturer of the roof tiles? Thanks in advance for your help! Regards

We also have anthracite-colored windows and a reddish-brown roof (burgundy from Nelskamp), which we think looks quite good.

Hello Curly,
sorry for addressing you directly. We are currently considering the same combination (burgundy roof tiles from Nelskamp and anthracite windows). Could you give us a tip regarding a suitable facade color and your front door?
Thanks and best regards

Hello borderpuschl,
we are currently considering a similar combination. The picture looks great and gives a very nice impression.
Could you please share some brief info about your front door or post a photo?
What color tone does it have?

Thanks and best regards,
Tobi
