Hi bigreader....sorry the only picture I managed to post originally wasn't that clear. Yes hogs bristle half does tie in pretty well, its a very light creamy brown colour....I've attached more photos showing all the colours of everything. All the choices we've made are kinda copied of the Metricon, Lincoln house so we do know they all work well together - only issue is we can't/don't want to do wooden windows as done in the display home, as we live in the hills in SA so they will be getting very exposed to the elements- so not a good option, hence the issue with choosing the window colour frame as we're not sure if we should try and make them a stand out even though their just cheap aluminum ones or if we should blend them in to the wall colour. So your thoughts are appreciated...

Hi, interestingly I have been grappling with this issue recently! For a contemporary design I have firmly decided that dark bronze or black frames suit much better as they are visually recessive and give the optical illusion of larger glazing and help create an indoor-outdoor connection. White frames tend to focus your eyes on the frames/window rather than the space and form, however you can get these to work if you use very slender frames (which are more expensive) or if you are purposefully using traditional design cues. I know this doesn't help as you already have the DA, so if you can go with the silver pearl that is a good option, and perhaps use the words "dark beige" to darken the render!

Thanks Lesley looks great ! Do you have the names of the paint colours ? This has been a great help, we've been stuck on the one colour scheme and this has given us a whole new perspective. Thanks again.

some photos would explain the dilemma
