Selecting colors for window frames is an exciting project that can instantly refresh the appearance of your home and how your rooms feel inside. From classic whites to modern hues like Terratone, the right frame color elevates curb appeal and ties interior spaces together. Renewal by Andersen offers a curated selection of durable, low-maintenance interior and exterior finishes, letting you find the perfect complementary or high-contrast tones to achieve an aesthetic that reflects your style.
Although white remains a go-to option for timeless elegance, complementary shades or bold contrasting colors can reflect personal style or add visual interest. While there are no hard rules on how to choose a window frame color, there are some pitfalls to avoid, including:
The correct choice depends on multiple factors, including the architectural style, existing exterior colors and environment around your home. When in doubt, view large samples against your actual siding and roof in natural light for a cohesive look and frames that feel intentional from the street.
Renewal by Andersen® window frames are available in an exciting range of exterior colors, including warm, earthy tones and solid classic colors. Selecting the right color adds visual interest and creates a cohesive look with your roof, siding and trim while keeping the view feeling balanced.
Consider the following four factors when choosing a window frame color.
Most homes lean toward specific architectural styles, and selecting replacement window frames that complement or accent the building’s lines and features can add to its character and boost its overall value. While traditional styles often incorporate white, cream or muted earthy tones, others, such as Victorian-style homes, can support bolder choices, such as Forest Green or Red Rock.
Other examples of architectural styles and window frame colors to consider include:
Renewal by Andersen® window frames are made of Fibrex® material, so they are a durable choice designed for long service life. While it’s a good idea to ensure that your window frames complement the exterior color of your home, matching them to a temporary feature, such as your porch railing or interior paint colors, may be limiting. Doors and shutters are easier to change and can be used to add flexible pops of color when you want some accents.
View options against your roof, siding and facade, such as brick or stone, in daylight. When in doubt, choose complementary neutral colors that create a finished appearance with these large areas.
Do you have tall, towering evergreens all around your home? Are there natural features or buildings that impact the appearance of your home when you take in the scene from the street? Some homeowners like to reflect aspects of the natural surroundings in their choices, and that can work beautifully – think Forest Green or Dark Bronze near wooded lots, or softer neutrals where stucco, stone or sandy tones dominate.
Consider how the window frame colors you are considering will read year-round, alongside landscaping, neighboring structures and sky conditions. Choose a finished look that feels integrated, rather than isolated.
Choosing the best window frame color for your home depends on your personal style. If you’re aiming for broad appeal or planning to sell soon, neutral frame colors resonate with the widest audience. Within our palette, neutrals including White, Sandtone and Terratone pair easily with a range of siding, brick and stone, which offers versatility and appeals to buyers.
For bolder, design-forward statement window frames, choose contrast strategically. Deep tones like Dark Bronze and Black can sharpen modern lines, while hues like Red Rock and Forest Green can highlight traditional details. No matter which approach you take – quiet and blended, or strong and graphic – start by using large samples in daylight so the final results look intentional and polished.
