Roughly 80% of the windows we sell are white, and there’s a reason that number hasn’t budged in decades. We’ve replaced windows in homes built in the 1900s, the 1950s, the 2000s, and the 2010s, and white window colors still work against every one of them. Trends like bronze and black have come and gone and come back again, but white keeps holding its ground as the safest, most timeless pick on the market.
Why White is the Most Timeless Window Color
White is almost a universal color. You can have white against wood, white against paint, white against just about any material you can name. That’s the reason it has stayed our top recommendation through every design trend we’ve seen.
We replace windows in houses built in the 1900s, the 1950s, the 2000s, and the 2010s. White accommodates all the different color schemes those homes offer, which makes it the safest long-term pick.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure which shade to choose, white gives you the most flexibility across any era of home and any interior or exterior color scheme.
Popular Window Colors Right Now
Timeless and popular aren’t always the same thing. When customers ask what’s popular, that’s a whole different story from what’s timeless.
Black Windows Inside and Out
Black inside and out is huge right now. We offer black windows inside and out, and it’s incredibly trendy and popular at the moment. It’s a bold look that homeowners are gravitating toward, but it makes a stronger style statement than white.
Bronze and the Trend Cycle
Bronze is the perfect example of how window colors move in cycles. When we first started back in the 1980s, bronze was incredibly popular. We’ve watched bronze go from popular to completely out, back in, and now on its way out again.
Key Takeaway: Trendy colors come and go. White stays.

You’re Not Limited to White
While white is our top recommendation for timelessness, you aren’t locked into it. We have several different colors for the outside and several different colors and wood grains for the inside, so you can build a look that fits your home perfectly.
Mixing Window Colors Inside and Out
You can choose one shade for the exterior and a completely different color or wood grain for the interior. Pairing a black or bronze exterior with a warm wood grain interior, for example, lets each side of the window match its surroundings.
Finding the Right Fit for Every Home
Between our exterior finishes and our interior color and wood grain options, we can usually find something that meets every customer’s expectation, no matter the age or style of the home.
Pro Tip: Ask to see exterior finishes and interior wood grains side by side before you decide. Seeing them together helps you visualize the final look.
