Do you have a picture? Just that different colours suit different periods and styles. I find a soft greeny grey looks good with period red brick, as below.

I like grey frames also,I have a tan bricked house and thought of doing the same thing. I took a photo of my house,and in photo shop,I got my designer to superimpose the cad drawings of the new style windows over my old windows,to give me an idea of what style and colour would work,i am glad I did because the grey looked awful. It's a lot of money to spend so it might be worth looking into this. I'm really not sure that grey windows would work well for you,I hope that other Houzzers will chip in with ideas.

Thank you kindly for your helpful advise and colour ideas. Did you use a specific software to make the window colours the same ? we do plan to replace all the windows to be one colour and a modern style (as opposed to Georgian style) - but it's trying to decide on a colour to go with the old/new red brick tones. You mentioned colour bonded - not sure what is meant by this ? The entrance door is too wide for just a single door (2190mm width) so we will need to include a side panel. We plan to have the door a different colour to the Windows to give it more appeal and one that is more modern/contemporary (although I like the blue/style door you've shown but my other half prefers more modern/contemporary style).

I love soft blues and greens going towards the grey unsaturated type colours with red brick. If the red is more towards an orange then the greens work better and if more towards the pink/purple then blues look great. I'm getting so bored of dark grey doors and windows! Be brave and use some colour!

Hi Stefanie, it would be well worth taking a look at the Chameleon Decorators and Window Restoration blog about the colour of your windows.
