I've noticed that many new houses are being built in white and anthracite, and that anthracite colors are often chosen for kitchens or bathroom tiles. As someone who prefers soft yellow-cream-white/soft yellow-cream-green or soft yellow-cream-light wood tones, I would like to know what you appreciate about the white-anthracite combination and whether anthracite has any depressing effect on your mood.
I'm also interested in what associations you have with this color scheme, what memories or impressions you connect with it. And in your opinion, has it always been exactly what you wanted and liked, or have you been inspired by the numerous current examples?
Feel free to share your thoughts freely and emotionally; I’m not sure if this question can be approached purely intellectually.

The roof is anthracite because of the photovoltaic system. I really don’t like red roofs with black photovoltaic panels on them. I find anthracite better since the photovoltaic system blends in more visually.That’s why there are also red photovoltaic modules. Their efficiency is about 15% lower due to the red tint of the laminates. There are even approved solutions for listed red-roof buildings in historic town centers.Climbee schrieb:
But in smoker apartments, the walls are slightly yellowish—just like the teeth of heavy smokers.Apparently, I know more shades of yellow than you do, or I have a less strong association. The yellow that remains on walls and teeth from nicotine use is quite distinctive. Do you also avoid bananas, lemons, eggs, and are you disgusted by the sun?

Alessandro15 Apr 2020 10:28We chose anthracite-colored windows not for the exterior appearance, but because from the inside it looks like you are looking through a picture frame into nature—assuming you have white walls inside. White window frames do not have this effect. The contrast between anthracite and colors (for example, the green of the lawn or leaves) is more intense, making it feel somehow more vibrant.
Just my 2 cents

To me, anthracite is plain and uniform, which we avoided. Especially since our zoning plan didn’t allow much variety, so everything here is white or anthracite for that reason.
If it’s just the windows, that’s still fine, but most people fall into a real anthracite craze. See the example of the driveway in this thread. People simply can’t do anything else anymore, inside or outside. Tasteless, no personal touch.
It always reminds me of the theme song from the series Weeds (Malvina Reynolds – Little Boxes). Everything the same.
