Which F&B white for windows?

We are having new hardwood windows and need to choose a colour (we are planning the same inside and out to keep costs down). I have tried a few testers today(F&B ans suggested by the window people) and am considering White Tie, but I also wanted to try Pointing and Wimborne White but the testers for those were out of stock.
Any thoughts from those that have used these colours please? The whole house (it’s a renovation) will be painted in warm, earthy/natural colours. We’re also having an oak framed extension to the side which will have natural oak frames to the glazing. The original part of the house is 1800’s and we will decorating in a traditional style.

All very nice clean whites. We're in the middle of decorating and have chosen pointing for the walls and dimity for all of the woodwork including the architraves etc, so round the windows. Quite like the look of woodwork a darker shade than the walls but not for everyone I suppose. We've also got red earth (some internal french doors) and Joas white (hallway) going on so similar earthy vibe as you!

I have used Pointing for skirting boards and doors. White Tie I found too creamy. More recently I used Dulux Timeless and found it as good. Similar colour to Pointing.

I used James white on rooms I’ve done on a 30s house. Ultra creamy colour but it looks nice imo.

This is James white on door, All white on walls and Dulux white on ceiling.

All looks pretty white lol

We’ve done our new windows in Pointing, copied a neighbour who had done the same. White Tie is too creamy IMO and has a slight pinkish/apricot undertone as I recall. Wimborne White is very similar to Pointing but is a bit cleaner, Pointing looks a little more sophisticated IMO. But all a matter of individual taste!

You could also look at Chaste by Paint & Paper Library which is a lovely warm white.

Tangobravo I envy your red internal french doors! DH vetoed red for ours <sniff>

Ah that’s interesting as we’ve used Timeless extensively in our other house and really like it.
