Our construction is progressing, and now we have to decide what color our external blinds should be.
My husband definitely wants white aluminum RAL 9006.
I am leaning towards gray aluminum RAL 9007 because, in my opinion, RAL 9006 is quite "glarey," and I also think it matches better with the anthracite windows RAL 7016 and the white exterior façade.
What do you think?
I would also be very grateful for pictures showing how you have solved this.

Contrast can be nice, but I don’t find the light-colored venetian blinds attractive.

We are getting them in the color of the windows – RAL7012.

They are usually installed at an angle anyway, so the shadow creates a different color impression.

I can provide photos later – they are not installed yet.

Thank you for your response.
I would also prefer the anthracite-colored blinds, but I’m not keen on having to clean them all the time.
I’m mainly thinking about pollen in the spring.
That’s why the decision was made to go with the lighter colors.
But which exact one?
In any case, we need to make a decision by tomorrow.
Always these decisions.

Hello, we also have the windows in 7016 and the external blinds and roller shutters in "Silver," which is 9006. The house facade is sand-colored. I can send photos tomorrow.

Hello,

Here is another photo from the construction phase, showing some of the shutters partially lowered. Due to the extensive use of wood, the windows, roller shutters, and exterior blinds were kept in neutral colors – the windows are white, the exterior blind boxes and guides are anthracite, and the slats/roller shutters have a matte aluminum finish. Even when they are lowered, the overall look is not too dark.

By now, the terrace, eaves trimming, and light well are completed... but the garden is still a mess...
