RAL 7016 anthracite grey - popular color for doors and windows
Anthracite gray - popular color code for many homeowners
Anthracite grey can be found in several different colour scales, but it may be a safe choice to go for RAL 7016 in the RAL Classic colour scale.
When I mention RAL colours, many people will probably have heard of, or can mention, RAL 9010 - pure white. It is a popular and gradually standard colour for interior doors, door frames and windows (or alternatively RAL 9016 - traffic white).
But in recent years, the colour RAL 7016 has become more and more popular, and often appears on the facades of newly built houses, summer houses and renovated homes where anthracite grey is especially a popular colour for windows and front doors. But what makes this colour so popular and so eye-catching?
Anthracite grey is both stylish and versatile
Doors and windows do not always have to be just white. If the style or architecture of the house or building suits it, you will be able to create a stylish expression by choosing anthracite gray color on the exterior parts.
Anthracite gray is a modern color that is currently trending and is used for a number of different purposes.
When you start renovating your house, it is often the windows and doors that are changed, partly because there are a number of advantages in terms of indoor climate, economy, but also because changing windows and doors can change the expression of a house significantly.
If you choose to go towards a more stylish expression on your windows and composite doors, anthracite gray is one of the colors that is common.
Anthracite gray or RAL 7016 is one of their standard colors for many suppliers.
Advantages of choosing a color like anthracite gray
Anthracite gray is a "good" color both in print and as paint, because it has a smooth, polished and low-contrast expression. In addition, anthracite gray is a versatile color that can be used in a variety of different combinations of materials and colors.
Anthracite gray harmonizes well with different materials and colors
The darker gray color is more forgiving of dirt and other marks.
The trendy color can be a good way to keep the property up-to-date.
In general, the color code in RAL is among the most popular color codes to give a boost to the interior both in and on the home.
Use RAL colors for your windows and doors
Although anthracite grey (RAL 7016) is a popular choice, there are many other RAL colours to choose from.
You can keep the colour of doors and windows on the inside in classic white to keep your room as bright as possible, but to create a different expression on the facade you can choose to go with a different colour on the outside, and you can often choose between several exciting standard colour codes from window manufacturers, for example:
RAL 3011 - brown red
RAL 6009 - spruce green
RAL 7001 - silver grey
RAL 7035 - light grey
RAL 9005 - deep black
RAL 9016 - traffic white
