Hello,
Here’s the situation: Bauhaus style; interior wooden windows with a dark (brown-black) stain; exterior aluminum windows in 7016 anthracite; grey-white facade (RAL 9002) with selected anthracite areas; anthracite-colored external venetian blinds.
We are currently debating the color of the window sills:
Option 1 (suggested by our architect): grey-white, matching the facade
+ blends in more since it’s the same color as the facade
+ might be less contrasting when looking outside against the brown/black wooden windows
- uncertain if the exact same grey-white as the facade can be achieved, as it’s a different material (we do not want to introduce another color)
- hardly possible to see any real examples since most people have window sills in RAL 7016 or sometimes aluminum gray when the exterior windows are RAL 7016
Option 2 (what most people choose): anthracite, matching the windows
+ identical to the window color since it’s the same material (aluminum)
+ many examples available
- does not blend in as much
- might contrast more when looking outside against the brown-black wooden windows
What do you think of the architect’s suggestion, or how have you solved this?
Best regards
Jochen

At first, we thought differently, but it actually works very well since the glaze is almost black, and in our opinion, the black-anthracite combination matches nicely. Additionally, the roller shutters and tracks are already anthracite, so the window sills on the outside being anthracite would actually fit better. Regards
