What colour to paint these window frames and door?

Have a new house but with everything in lockdown I thought I would just ask for some future advice. I hate the windows but they are in good condition so I will just be spray painting the frames with specialist paint - what colour do you think?

What about paiinting the walls a soft beige so it goes better with the windows.
It would be quite nice to never have to paint or repaint window frames.
I'm not sure Zinsser comes in many colours.

Oh I thought I could get Zinsser colour matched at some places. Will need to recheck this. Don't think I can cope with the windows. They are hideous!

I personally think with the colour/age of your roof tiles that the grey would be very drab. I would go cornflower blue and fill the garden with red geraniums. I do have a somewhat eclectic style though!

Well Zinsser def do white which would be nice then a soft shade for the walls

So I have ordered some Zinsser colour matched to the F&B French Grey which is quite a greeny colour. I think once I have the windows done then I will order paint for the render!

@Renovationpainter will you post before and after pictures? I'm intrigued to see how the paint goes on close up.

A sage green would be lovely. Not grey, it won't suit the age of your house, and it's everywhere now.

The French Grey looks lovely. I would go for sage green personally, or the equivalent shade of blue.

Actual grey itself on exterior woodwork just looks like undercoat to me.

Yes will definitely post before and after pictures! I'm intrigued as to how it goes on to!
