Agate Grey vs Anthracite Grey: Which is Best for Your Windows?

What is agate grey?

Agate grey, sometimes referred to as Painswick White, is a softer, lighter grey that creates a clean and balanced appearance. It works well across a wide range of properties, from modern homes to more traditional styles.

Agate grey is often chosen by homeowners who want a contemporary look without the stronger contrast of darker colours.
