ᐅ Window, facade, and garage colors – something different

Hello forum

We are currently planning the colors. We want to have the following elements in the same color: window frames (exterior), front door, garage door, and some facade elements (for example at the entrance; between the transom windows; etc.). Now my question: Does anyone have these elements in the color RAL 8022 Black Brown? This is currently our favorite, as it is dark but, because of the brown tones, not too industrial-looking.

Best regards
Jochen

No, not me.
But could it be that it looks like broken black?
I once looked at the standard colors from our front door supplier: pure black is not available, instead there is RAL 8022. So I can imagine that true black is difficult to produce, and that brownish black is used as the standard.
For me, it would pass as black; the windows and doors are finished with a strong color like that.
However, I don’t find it technically appealing and personally don’t like it. I once had a white house with ebony-colored windows. My parents also combined this window color with brickwork. By the way, ebony is not a true black either, even though it is black.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, it is almost black (the brown only really shows up in direct sunlight). We do not want pure black or black-gray (RAL 7021), as it still looks a bit colder. Our general concern with dark window frames is that they make the room appear smaller. However, we mainly have floor-to-ceiling windows, so there is less frame in relation to the glass surface. It’s a tricky situation.

But you wanted the color on the outside – so the room can’t appear smaller.

Be careful about the direction of elements like the front door and garage, as prolonged sunlight exposure can cause deformation issues on dark surfaces.

Sorry, I jumped too quickly to my second question. We definitely want the same color inside and outside based on our current status, because we don’t like the wood look (we have wood/aluminum) and white (too boring), or different colors inside and outside. Hence the “jump” to the question: Does anyone have dark frames inside (whether, for example, 8022, 7016, or 7021) and would choose the same again (thanks for the tip about warping: we have taken that into account)?

We considered it because it looks nice.

However, it has two drawbacks: You notice dust a lot more, which shouldn’t be underestimated. Also, white is a universal, timeless color – with such a dark color, you might (but don’t have to) pay more attention to how the walls are painted or the colors of the furniture.

Ultimately, it was mainly the maintenance factor that put us off.
