Grey Doors: RAL Options

November 9, 2021admin

In recent years, grey doors and windows have become one of the most popular colour choices across the UK.

There are over 50 RAL grey colours to choose from when choosing new doors and windows. Moreover, this article discusses the most popular shades of grey doors amongst homeowners.

Anthracite Grey Doors

Anthracite grey, or RAL 7016, is the colour that everyone wants – both inside and outside of the home. It’s a stylish and contemporary shade that is practical too. Furthermore, anthracite grey doors won’t yellow or show dirt either. 

In the sunshine, anthracite looks lighter. On darker days and evenings, anthracite appears almost black. Moreover, this is because of RAL 7016’s blue-grey hues. The shade also has hints of green and purple in some lights. 

RAL 7016 is an eye-catching modern and edgy choice for windows and doors with its dark yet neutral tint. The colour is neither cool nor warm, so feels natural for any home.

Anthracite grey windows are a versatile choice that suits brick, stone and render. The dark shade of grey is one of the easiest colours to integrate into your home. Moreover, anthracite makes homes stand out but doesn’t overpower the eye.

Black Grey

RAL 7021 is black grey which offers a darker tone than anthracite. Black grey doors and windows look almost entirely black but are a mid-dark grey shade. 

Like anthracite, black grey is low maintenance as it does not yellow or show grime and dirt. They, too, are a versatile choice suiting most styles of home. So if you’re looking for something darker than the blue-grey hues of RAL 7016, RAL 7021 might be best for you.

Basalt Grey Doors

RAL 7012 is also known as basalt grey, which is a lighter shade than anthracite grey. Instead, basalt grey takes inspiration from the actual colour of basalt – a dark volcanic rock formed when magnesium and iron lava cools. 

Moreover, basalt is a powerful and modern colour and has a neutral cast due to its lack of green tones. Hence, basalt grey doors and windows offer a much softer tone but the same contemporary feel. Furthermore, RAL 7012 looks ideal on both rendered homes and classic red brick. 

Mouse Grey

Another ideal choice for red brick is mouse grey, or RAL 7005. Mouse grey is a colder colour choice as it is a lighter grey. However, mouse is dark enough to provide a contrast against other colours as it has fewer deep tones than anthracite does.

Traffic Grey A Doors

Not to be confused with traffic grey B, traffic grey A is a lighter shade still. RAL 7042 comprises green-blue hues.

Agate Grey

Agate grey is also known as Painswick or RAL 7038. It’s a mid to light grey shade, combining a subtle blend of greens and grey. Moreover, it’s a cross between a slate grey colour and Chartwell green, making it pastel-like. Furthermore, agate has hints of cream within its shade – which is a neutral, warming colour offering a welcoming feel.

Agate grey complements lighter colours and yellows, meaning it looks great against stone and render. Furthermore, agate is a light and fresh modern tone. However, it can yellow with the weather and show dirt because of its pale shade.

Light Grey Doors

Another shade known for its warm and calming tones, light grey windows offer one of the most welcoming options. Light grey is also known as RAL 7035.
