Beige or tan vinyl windows with black trim?

2 years ago

Love black windows for our light orangey brick transitional but since it costs more, sticking with standard beige/tan vinyl to replace rotting wood windows. House has beige wood trims and lighter beige siding and medium grey roof. Given option for hybrid full frame replacement (keeping original stained interior oak window trim). Was told window trim could be any color - can I use black for the trim with beige windows or will itbe weird? Ive seen black or bronze windows with white/beige trim. Thanks for any input!

    If your house has a gray roof, I would get white windows. It sound like you have enough beige now.

    If you ever re-paint the house, the white will be easier to work with.

    Paint the window trim your black. I think deep Charcoal gray is as effective as black but not as harsh.
