    Narrowed our choice down to these two as we don't want white again, house is a five bed 1970,s bungalow ( bought in 2012 )so pretty boring, white pebble dash on front which neither of us like tbh

    Window company believe the slate grey would go well as a contrast to white pebble dash

    Opinions welcome

    Thanks in advance

    Can you post a pic of the front elevations so we can see the windows in context to the contrasting colours of the noise.

    Post up a RAL colour chart (if that's what the window company are offering) for the craic as well

    Grey blue green sort of colours can look well but I've no idea what an agate grey is.

    agate grey is a much lighter grey than slate grey , it might even be viewed as " off white " by many ?

    It all comes down to personal choice, I prefer a contrast between windows and walls and would go for the darker grey. Agate Grey is almost a non colour in my opinion and might look very bland with the white pebble dash, unless you plan to paint the pebble dash a darker colour.
