HELP! : Marvin Bronze vs Ebony windows?

11 years ago

I am having new Marvin wood clad Magnum sash windows on my 1920s colonial. Next year I will be replacing the aluminum siding with hardie and going for a traditional white siding with dark windows and white trim. Should I choose the Bronze or Edony for my windows? I'm worried the Ebony will be too starch and modern looking but also worried that the bronze will look brown.... HELP! thank you!

I love the black. I notice them often on colonial and Victorian homes in my historic neighborhood so I don't think they are too modern.
