Anthracite grey fascias/soffits/guttering/windows

[Mw Roofline]

Anyone else notice this is being done to death? It’s like the new thing.
I’m undecided.... saw a nice row of terraced houses today all in white with white windows and then...BANG, looked like Lord Vader had taken residence.

On a 5 bed detached with the right kind of roof tiles maybe but on your average 2 bed semi I’m not so sure.

Maybe I’m getting old (catching up with noseall...almost) and I like my traditional stuff...

My wife’s been noticing it for ages along with the other trend of an office door on the front of your house.

Back in the 1990s white upvc with diamonds leads was the height of sophistication.......not a good look on a victorian terrace

Yeh wifey hates them , especially on 30’s semi.

I've just started to notice it up in Scotland. Looks decent on a big house, especially when done with a black gutter.

maybe looks better on a grey stone house than a redbrick one.

TBH, it will make a nice change from the all white gutter/ fascia/ soffit that every house in every street has been having for the past forty or so years.

I’ve got white windows, grey facia, black gutters and a grey porch on a red brick house.

Looks good in the dark

I painted my meter cabinets black and nobody gives a f**k.
