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?

Just a few more white bricks in between, and the house will look like a toadstool [emoji6]

The exterior paint is called Kessler Brown 40 by Caparol. However, it has nothing to do with brown. The color appears different depending on the lighting conditions, ranging from almost white in sunlight to gray when it’s cloudy.

Do you mean Kassler Brown 40?

According to Caparol, it has a brightness reference value of 57, which looks lighter on your building.

Do you have more pictures?

Unfortunately, my preferred gray-brown shade is not available.

An alternative would be chocolate brown.

Or wood effect foil; the window manufacturer only works with Renolit foil.

Pricing is similar to anthracite.

With chocolate brown, there would also be matching roller shutters.

It would match the roof.

I just don’t know if it would look outdated, but a warm roof and windows in chocolate brown with a cool gray facade somehow works as well.

Yes, you're right Kassler Braun 40.
Yes, I have a few more pictures. The color shows different shades depending on the lighting conditions.
I can take some more photos this evening with a darker base; it will look quite different again.

I happen to have a small photo showing the base of the building. Two angles were taken at the same time, but the color appears different.

The soffit color is some shade of silver-gray, but I need to check for the exact one.

It looks much brighter than on the color charts.
