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

That’s exactly what I like about it. It’s similar to new car paint colors—depending on how the light hits it, the color can appear anywhere from almost white to dark gray.

Do you happen to have a color chart for that shade?

So, in conclusion, unfortunately, braungrau (brown-gray) is not available.

I was able to get the Röben Tobago approved by the city, which basically looks black on the roof, so anthracite windows will match well.
And maybe the color from borderpuschl.

Now the only question is: anthracite textured or smooth?
Window sill in anthracite or silver? Shutters in anthracite or silver?

Silver? Why silver? Or should the silver match the color of your facade?

No, no idea, you see that a lot here,

So, I went out to take a look for a bit.
Mostly gray roller shutters with an anthracite bottom rail and an anthracite windowsill as well.
But they are always made of plastic, maybe that’s why.
For us, it will be aluminum.
