Unless you lived in the Southwest you couldn't order one of these windows a year ago so they don't yet have a track record in colder climates. This window is made entirely with Andersen's patented wood & PVC composite, "Fibrex", (formerly used only for sash cladding and replacement windows) and is obviously intended to compete with all-vinyl windows. It is offered in 5 exterior colors and only white interior. It is available in single-hung but not double-hung (presumably for strength) and the mullions are only available between the glass. Fortunately the glass widths are the same top and bottom. The frame depth is very small (like a PVC window) so deep jamb extensions will probably be needed unless drywall is used instead. The exterior is very "modern" (ie not traditional) since the upper sash of the single-hung (and all other sash) is essentially flush with the front face of the frame and there is no sloped sill, very little sill overhang, and no drip (a serious detailing problem requiring some kind of special flashing at the sill or an added sub-sill). Andersen's recommended sill detail relies entirely on sealant to prevent water from entering behind the exterior cladding - a foolish idea that cost Andersen and their customers a lot of money in the 80's but their memory is apparently shorter than mine. I would not use a window in it's first year of sale nor one I had not seen and operated in the field.

I still say bronze. It is done a lot in the high end homes in Atlanta, usually paired with a lighter stone/brick exterior. It is lovely. Here is a picture of a light brick french house with the bronze windows . . . not a great picture but you get the idea. Beautiful with copper gutters.

@Beverly, thank you! We definitely will do the trim as well...currently we have a medium beige colour (similar to picture posted), could we do a grey in a similar value as the beige or does it have to be white to match the muntins?

What a charming house?? I like the gold very much but understand if you want a change. I would keep the white trim, paint the body of the house the current door/shutter color, and have fun with the door color. The first thing that comes to mind would be fuchsia!
