Really like the colour of doors - was it RAL and if so which one?

It looks like it has some purple in it - is that the case?

Hi there! A grey and white colour scheme sounds quite Scandinavian to me. These stories are great for inspiration: [A Dated 1960s End-of-terrace Gets a Scandi Makeover[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/houzz-tour-a-dated-1960s-end-of-terrace-gets-a-scandi-makeover-stsetivw-vs~77233568) and, a specifically living room related one: [How to Cook Up an Authentic Scandi-Style Living Room[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/how-to-cook-up-an-authentic-scandi-style-living-room-stsetivw-vs~74540916) Do you know what is under the carpet? If there are floorboards, you could paint those white (or leave them in their natural colour) to achieve the kind of pared back look in the photo you've attached.

To approximately equate the above analysis to the colours I sent you. Multiply the Value 8.08x10 = 80.8 Lightness and the Chroma x 5 = 2.95 in our colour space using LCh. So its approx 20 points lighter than Weimaraner & considerably closer to neutral.

Anyone used RAL7006 (beige grey) on windows and doors?

I've chosen RAL 7039 for my windows which is a similar colour to RAL 7006 but darker. I am pleased that RAL 7039 is not a colour which is seen very often. I chose it because I too want a warm neutral and an alternative to anthracite grey which is too blue/purple for my taste. RAL 7039 seems to work well with the house's brickwork, mortar colour, concrete roof tiles and the proposed timber cladding on our new extension. Before I made a decision I tested several colours by purchasing Dulux Trade Ral Colour paint samples (250ml pots) which I painted onto lining paper and stuck up on the outside of the house. I loved RAL 7039 as soon as I painted it onto the lining paper, unlike the other sample colours which were ok but nothing special, so I was really pleased that the colour works with the house. I also think Ral 7039 will blend in with the neighbouring houses which have dark windows - mainly 80s mahogany/rosewood windows - but will look more contemporary. Fingers crossed it doesn't let me down. If you like RAL 7006 go for it.

9010 belongs almost to the middle of the Yellow Hue Family. It has a CIELAB Chroma of 5.679 which makes it a colourful off-white. Higher the Chroma = the more colourful the colour. It could give a soft not overly stark appearance on the exterior/interior of an older home. Check how you like it with your interior trim. If you don’t have similar whites this colourful for skirting, you may find the windows a little yellow by comparison. 9016 belongs to the Green-Yellow Hue Family. (where most of the colours people consider as a ’true white’ tend to live.. It is a touch lighter than 9010 = higher Value. It has less than half the Chroma of 9010 = which makes it approx. 2 x more neutral than 9010 . Sometimes whites from this neighbourhood, so low in Chroma, can colour shift & feel almost a blue-grey white. Defo one to view both inside & out. See how it looks next to your white goods and interior trim. 9003 sits between the two others, towards the end of the Yellow Hue Family. It is the most neutral of the 3. (lower Chroma) + the slightly darker of the 3. 🌈
