What colour window frames?

uPVC or aluminium, we currently have white and they're badly in need of replacing but I'm not sure what to go for now. Grey is everywhere, all shades of it but I don't really want grey. I listened to an architect talking about windows and said black is a good option as it merges into the fabric of the house - apparently windows shouldn't 'stand out'? A house nearby has gone for a very pale greeny/grey colour which is lovely but I'm not sure if it would date quickly.

So, what colour are your window frames??

Also, if we go for a colour that isn't white, should the front door be the same colour? Or does that not matter?

Yes we're hoping the company we're buying from will be able to do that.

@youngestisapsycho we have similar which is comforting!

We went for white. I like the anthracite but worry it will be out of fashion soon like the dark wood upvc from the 90’s. Whilst white is boring it seems stable. Plus I dont like it when they’re a different colour inside to outside and didn’t want anthracite inside. Our house is half rendered though and the render is an ever so slightly off white so white blends in well with the rendered part.
