ᐅ Which color should the exterior blinds be?

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.

Sorry, I’m having technical difficulties today. Every time I tried to upload the file, it ended up creating a reply instead.

Please ignore the mess outside.

I really like it, thanks for sharing.

We also plan to install Venetian blinds throughout the entire house. On the ground floor, we’ll use the standard slats, and upstairs the Z-shaped slats will be used, as they provide better shading and are more stable in windy conditions.

Has anyone else done this and can share how it looks from the outside?

In the basement on the south side, we have roller shutters, while in the ground floor and upper floor, we installed venetian blinds with external slats (also called “raffstores”). These have a wind sensor and will automatically raise when the wind gets too strong. Currently, they are still operated manually.

I think that having different types on the same facade is acceptable. It is hardly noticeable.

Did you choose the corrugated ones or the regular ones?

Pictures also show more about the colors than words can.
