Call the window company for a matching color code from a 'regular' paint brand?

We have a similar request. Actually, we went to Sherwin Williams this evening, and when she checked her database, she gave us a color array of greens, with the lightest supposedly the "Andersen White". SW6196 Frosty White had a very green cast to it. Is this possibly the correct match?

Andersen White does have some grey undertones, but not green. Please confirm with the Sherwin Williams associate that they are consulting the National Accounts Database, as that is where the correct formula to match Andersen products should be found.

Try Sherwin Williams Natural Choice SW7011 for the white Andersen.

Thanks!

It's N333 Andersen Interior White

I agree with mxdc painting the window trim with Advance paint from Benjamin Moore . Colour Magic in PA has the color match on file. Great people to work with. Give them a call and ask for the formula they will assist. Remember it is a Benjamin Moore formula and can only be used in BM Advance paint.

Anderson white can be found at most quality paint stores. Just ask for Anderson White. They should have the formula. Our local Benjamin Moore retailer has the formula

Anderson does not really have a white window color. It is grey . I don't understand why true white is not an option. It does not match white vinyl trim or siding very well.

Old thread but I came across it when trying to match trim to my Andersen windows. Andersen's "white" is indeed Sherwin Williams SW6196 Frosty White. Verified yesterday with Sherwin Williams and today with my Andersen Window rep.

Our interior Andersen window color is not Frosty White. We painted some of our trim and noticed it is too "white", it needs to be a little more gray. I was told, by a Sherwin Williams employee to get Frosty White, heading back tomorrow to try SW7011 as suggested by pro Authenticity LLC, a big Thank you....

@sophiewillie - did the SW7011 match better?

Sophiwillie,

Yes, waiting to hear....
Also, are your windows series 200, series 400, or what?

We have the 200 series. An Andersen rep contacted me to send out their color chart, I took the color chart to Sherwin Williams to have it matched. It did not match either. I wish I would have tried the SW7011 as suggested. That will be another day....

We have Andersen white windows and found Behr Silver Drop matched best.

The reason I ran across this thread is because I am now looking for Andersen storm door bronze. Any suggestions?

Me too - I am looking for Benjamin Moore equivalent for Andersen 400/ Dark Bronze. Can some one provide what the equivalent BM color is?

If you go to the paint store they have equivalent paint formula for Andersen Dark Bronze. The top left corner has Andersen DB color.

Seems as if I’m having the same dilemma. Thank you for all the color options for trim.

But, Is it possible to paint the interior trim on the 400 series? I want white dove. But im concerned about it adhering to the current finish.

And curious how labor intensive it will be

What should i do?

What is the Sherwin williams color match to the black windows in the 100 series. I asked at SW and they said they don’t have that information- just. Info on other paint companies.

help, I HAVE A CLIENT TRYING TO GET HIS GARAGE DOORS PAINTED FROM THE FACTORY AND THE TRIM COLOR IS AURA WATERBORNE PAINT ANDERSON IT IS CALLED ANDERSON WINDOW AND PATIO DOOR COLOR. I NEED A PAINT COLOR CODE

@mcbee_caitlyn did you get a SW color to match your 100 series black? I am looking for paint to match our black exterior. Thanks!

@mcbee_caitlyn - did you figure it out? I was looking at paint swatches today. I liked Tricorn Black and Black Magic - but didn't realize there was possibly a database that SW had access to! Curious what you did!

We have SW Toque White on all of our interior trim and it matches well to the Andersen interior clad white.

@Melanie I followed the directions in this post. The SW employee wasn't familiar with matching to Anderson Windows but I used the right code words something like "check the national database" and sure enough they matched it up and it looks wonderful! Matches our black 100 series great

Great! What was the color for Sherwin Williams to match the black 100 series? We have the same issue

Anyone have luck finding SW color (or wood stain) to match Andersen Dark Bronze storm door? thanks in advance!

Not sure if this will help, but I have read the OSI has a match for every siding color, etc., in their exterior line of caulking. If so, you could take that in to the paint dealer for a color match.

Any luck with anyone matching SW paint with the black Andersen 100 series window?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>I ended up hiring a guy to stain the door (will start next week) a dark wood hopefully matching nicely! supposedly Shermin Williams has Andersen matches...you have specify exact color name and if you're trying to get color to match storm doors or windows...they are different color Bronze (storm door.more grayish brown) and Andersen windows are coffee brown (almost black)

Sherwin-Williams has a color called Anderson Black
Call them they can help
We used that paint to go with out Anderson 100 windows in black on our remodel in April and it looks great.

my project before and after! love the results! ended up staining Douglas fir door with Ebony stain (Minwax). Also lightened up the house # plaque and mailbox!

Was anyone able to figure out a color to match Anderson Window Dark Bronze? I’ve tried to have Sherwin Williams match it but it doesn’t turn out quite right.

suzhouida, I was able to get Bronze color match at Shermin William's for trim at bottom of my storm door and it was a perfect match. Make sure to signify that you're looking for Andersen "Dark Bronze" (like Andersen windows), which is a different color than "Bronze" (Andersen storm door in my photo above).

trim under storm door

Was bummed to find this question wasn’t answered so adding my findings..

Just went to a BM store. The guy looked up Andersen White and found the following info in the database for close matches: 1548 Classic Gray, 1555 Winter Orchard, and 2141-60 Titanium. Personally, our windows (400 series woodwright, purchased 2018) best match Classic Gray and Winter Orchard, which are both so so close although neither is spot on; the Titanium is too dark/steely.

We have a sample of the Classic Gray that we’ll be trying out on our moulding.

Here are the color match paint codes for all Andersen paint colors (a/o June 2020)

We are having the same dilemma with the Andersen "White" windows, and trying to find the almost perfect match for the trim. It almost looks like their "primed" color. Whether it's green or grey undertones, it's certainly not a close match for the typical white we use for trim. I'm going to try the various suggestions of paint codes provided by the frustrated consumer posts on Houzz.

I'm also going to post on Andersen HD site to be aware of the color they call white. I'll post the results of my trial and error for trim paint.

Just discovered this discussion about Andersen white. Anyone have any experience using standard white vinyl siding with Andersen white windows and trim? We are planning to use Andersen 400's in our addition with regular white vinyl siding. I'm not sure this will work now.

Did you ever ? get a white color match f the Andersen white woodright 400 series

Seeking the white color match for the Anderson white woodright series. HELP Anderson! !

We ultimately went with a standard semi-gloss white. When we tried to match it, the gray/green tint was too much. No one noticed the difference in the color as we pointed out new windows.

To this day no one has an answer and people keep sharing the paint mix formula document like that helps us

I've been keeping notes regarding this issue, but for the Andersen 100's. We need to stay with the Andersen white to match other exterior windows.

Interior wise, the original ones are 400's so painted to match our trim.

But the new ones will be Fibrex - and the "grayish" white will be up next to our warm white trim.

It definitiely won't match, but I'm not sure anyone else will notice, besides me.

Anderson Windows provides this Sherwin Williams color chart on their website. I've used for exterior trim matching and just yesterday picked up the white for my interior trim.

Whether or not you like their factory colors, these mixes do match https://edge.sitecorecloud.io/andersencorporation-c47i754m/media/Project/AndersenCorporation/AndersenWindows/AndersenWindows/files/product-info-sheets/sherwin-williams-paint--stain-code-info-sheetfinal.pdf?rev=f332538ed86f46d9a4695fe6e0ca5e48

Benjamin Moore paint stores (like wallauer’s in westchester) have the Andersen paint color codes in their computer systems, I just picked up a quart of Andersen white in satin finish to touch-up interior trim on Andersen 400 series windows. They’ll confirm the window material (wood, etc) and provide guidance accordingly. Perfect match when dry & no issues.

That sounds great. I'm just not sure if all Andersen windows use the same white. We have Andersen 400 (where the inside is wood).

But the newer Andersen 100's (fibrex inside and out) seem to be a much "grayer" white.

Not sure if the exteriors match on these or not.

Old post, but thought I would add a white (Anderson Renewal, not Replacement). This is the code: RGB values 233, 232, 225 and the HEX value #E9E8E1. For Ben Moore that is Winter White.
