ᐅ Roller shutters and windows – which color?

If we choose many smaller elements in anthracite, it creates a uniform overall appearance with nice anthracite accents.

... and thus follows the trend of 90% of all homebuilders. Every house looks the same. Of course, it’s always a matter of personal taste, but to me it feels too uniform.

There are beautiful front doors in anthracite.

The same models come in dozens of colors.

I wonder why so many builders are "afraid" of color? What causes this?

Probably because it’s quite abstract to make decisions based on samples.
At first, we also wanted to go with the usual white/anthracite combination. We thought it looked nice.
Then we reconsidered and realized we actually found it pretty boring and started looking at colors.
That wasn’t easy either. We had a basic idea, four plaster textures, and spent about eight weekends visiting and checking them at different places and lighting conditions.
In the end, we chose a color that we were initially quite skeptical about because of the pattern. I then said, “Come on, honey, let’s do it like this!”
We jumped into the deep end.
In the end, it was exactly the right decision.

I have an anthracite-colored front door with a lot of frosted glass. It feels rather gloomy to approach and come home to. I would have preferred a bright color.

I find the color scheme of your house terrible. It’s too "southern German" and too boring for me. Personally, I would definitely choose colored window frames and a colored door. But I do like it colorful 😀 More than most people, probably.

This will most likely be our front door.

I would choose a larger window. I think the window is the most attractive feature of my front door and most other front doors.

We usually don’t like windows in doors. This one is more than enough for us. We initially planned two sidelights as well, but those have since been canceled.
