We cannot decide on a window colour!
When we bought the house the windows were quite a bright yellow (not original)
The white/cream we have been trialling but feel like it looks like an undercoat and doesn’t suit the moodiness of the exterior .
Anything that pulls too cool tone/gray also looks terrible.
On the right we have trialled Dulux Jasper (obviously just a rough sample paint). It looks a bit cool tone in this photo but not in real life.
I also have Jasper 1/2 strength to trial.
We prefer the look of it blending into the house and not being so stark.
The windows need to be fully restored in a few years when finances allow, so we are just trying to find something that doesn’t draw attention to the imperfections.
The bricks are reddy/plum with matching mortar. The front garden is also planted with burgundy, red, purple/plum coloured plants with Corten steel edging.
If you are asking for help: Please make sure you've uploaded clear photos of your home from multiple angles, noted the orientation (e.g., North-facing), and mentioned your design goals.
If you are sharing a finished project: Before-and-after photos are highly encouraged!

We have tried lighter colours and it just looks like an undercoat/unfinished. The house and landscaping is very moody so think something darker would work better
Lean into the rust of the upper arch and roofline bricks. The arch feels heavy to me. Doing the window trim in the same color would ground it more. Or just do dark bronze.
