Exterior paint to go with anthracite windows?

[Roofroofroof]

I have anthracite aluminium windows and french doors. I was going to buy pure brilliant white. But am now wandering about an off-white.

My style is country cottage vibes, wood etc. So looking for something to suit that style rather than ultra modern. The wall is textured render

In my ideal world it would have been wooden framed windows in a lovely soft shade but I had to think about the budget.

Please don’t paint your house PBW!

What direction does the back of your house face? It will make a difference to how colours look.

I use Sandtex Chalk Hill as my go to off-white for exteriors. It looks almost grey as a sample, especially when shown indoors, but is this perfect soft white when painted large scale outdoors.

I have cream K Rend walls on my extension with anthracite windows. The original walls are just brick.

The walls are east facing so morning light

Sandtex Cotton Belt is nice, it’s a soft cream.
