Hi I know that this is mostly opinion based but I’m really struggling to decide which colour silicone to use on my newly rendered house against all our windows which are anthracite grey. It’s between the obvious white, grey or clear but I can’t seem to find close up example photos online anywhere. Photo attached.

Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
What colour silicone to use between white silicone render and anthracite windows?

I'd match the render, that way the sealant where it joins with the render can (will) be a bit uneven as is the nature of a rendered surface but will be largely unnoticeable but you can ensure you get a nice crisp joint where the sealant meets the window. Use masking tape on the windows if you need to.
BTW there are loads of colours available from respectable manufacturers no need to limit yourself to those three options or to what's available from Screwfix etc.

It depends on how good you are with a tube of sealer. If an expert then either colour, If a biit dodgy then clear, which won't look as bad if you stray onto either surface. Clear will eventually go to an opaque light grey colour and not stay clear.
My windows were finished with uvpc trim to reveals , neater, leaves no gaps to fill .
UPVC window trims, no thanks.
I used white in the end and it looks really good. So glad I didn’t use grey!
