I like the concrete grey, if you want a softer look.

I like the Quartz Grey. Gut feeling....

Quartz grey definitely

Ral 7039 Quartz Grey. I’ve recently had Ral 7039 doors and windows fitted and I love them.

Thanks everyone. That’s given me some comfort that I’m not getting it wrong. Jo have you got any pics you could share?

Give me a couple of days and I'll try and post some pictures.

My sister has a yellow brick house and she has chosen dark grey windows similar to the Quartz Grey and it looks really good. For her front door and garage door she chose the palest of grey-green. Beautiful.

Great, thanks Jo. Your sister’s home sounds lovely, Sonia. Front door and garage door colours will be my next quandary. 😳

Hi Ispendl 828,

I'm a researcher with Openlight, a new startup looking to change the way homeowners buy and install windows in their home. We're at the very early stages of our business and looking to chat with people like you to learn more about your experiences and what can be improved. Would you be willing to have a conversation with us? Let me know and we can figure out the best way to get in touch.

Thank you for your time and help!

I like the mid tone ones. We have gone for similar and it looks contemporary and stylish in my opinion.

Hi Ruth, do you mean the Stone Grey and/or Concrete Grey? I was in the window shop today and spied a sample lying on the floor. It was a mid grey with a browny quality which I really liked and brought it home to put next to my bricks. Unfortunately, the person in the showroom couldn’t tell us what colour it was, it didn’t match any of her swatches and the MD has gone to Australia on holiday. It seemed very much like the Stone/Concrete colour. I feel like I’ve been stopped in my tracks just as I was about to commit to Quartz Grey. 🤔

Yes the stone grey. Personally I think the quartz is so dark it may as well be anthracite, it gives the same overall effect (too dark in my opinion). We have ral 7040 actually called Window grey.

I think the agate grey is too pale for your brick colour.

I completely understand your dilemma it took us ages to decide but we are very happy in the end. Good luck!

Any chance of a pic showing what you did Ruth? I remember from your previous post that your house is very similar looking to mine. TIA

Our new windows are Ral 7040 Window grey. With matching metal garage door. Porch will be changed when budget allows - probably an oak effect style like the picture

Our brick is more of a red shade than your yellow. It's so hard I know.

Thanks for that. I think you’re right, our bricks are more yellow than yours. The mid tone grey is the way to go for us too. Thank you. That’s a very nice porch you’re getting!
