Any pictures? Is there a 2nd or 3rd manufacturer of windows you could use that has more color choices?

No, I don't have any pictures- sorry.

"Should I go with the white windows and just compromise and make the trim a creamy white"
I made a little picture and wrote the colors down trying to visualize... if they white's are too off they might look clashy. ?
I would probably do the almond color and darker khaki stucco.

I've always liked the darker khaki/gray windows myself. I think they look classier but without a picture of your house, I'm not real sure!

White does seem like it would be stark if you don't want white trim. The almond would be nice if it's not a yellowish color.

If your trim is between the window and the house stucco, I think having the darker windows would look nice. The lighter trim will highlight them, but if the window color coordinates with the house color - not that they have to be the same khaki - it should look nice.

In my area, alot of the upper end homes have the taupe/gray windows especially if there is brick on the home. The mortar in the brick is that khaki/taupe color. Is the darker window similar to a taupe/gray color?

This is our old house.

One stipulation we had before we would agree to build was that our windows be upgraded to another color besides white. There were too many other white windows in the neighborhood as they were standard.

As you can see by the hideous bright, white garage door (we were always meaning to do something about that, lol), if you don't want the stark contrast, you're not going to be happy.

Our recent builder had a 'take it or leave it' package that only had white as an option...which I guess wouldn't make it an option, after all. :)

Yes, that makes sense..the problem I'm having is our windows will be on both the stucco part and the brick. On the front of the house, the windows will only be on the stucco. We want to go with a khaki stucco, but aren't sure if we should go with the white window or almond window.

I wouldn't rush this decision because this is not only very expensive, but will have a huge impact on what your house looks like, not just the exterior, but the interior as well. If you go with the almond windows, what will you do with the interior trim throughout the house? White and almond clash. If you don't care for the white, better to go with driftwood.

I've been through a remodel. They will always rush you and tell you you need to decide TODAY, but it is OK to stop work and tell them you need to think about it. Best thing is to drive around your neighborhood and see what similar houses have done. Take your camera along and snap pictures to find your "inspiration" house. You can always repaint your stucco if you want a change. Not so easy to change window color.

In my opinion, white is classic, will always be style and will compliment any window trim (both inside and out). But, it's not my house....

my first choice would be the almond and 2nd the grey

See if you can find windows that have one color as the exterior and other color - paint or stain - on the inside.
