Tinted windows affecting interior colours

We bought some beautiful Aparici Carpet Sand tiles to do our new house floors. Imagine our dismay when we found they looked dirty and dingy in the house! Fortunately we saw this before they were laid. They are a stunning tile, but a disaster in our new house. I spoke with a lighting engineer who informed me that grey tinted windows block out certain colours from the colour spectrum with the result that browns are emphasized. Our windows are double glazed and changing the glass is not an option. We now have to rethink our colour scheme and go with cool colours, no browns or beiges. Interestingly the tile we are now using looks bleached white everywhere except in our new house, where the windows have pulled out browns in the tile that cannot be seen elsewhere. in this case it is just enough brown to add a warmth to the tile. Just thought I would share for anyone who may find themselves in a similar spot
