Neutrals are the most popular option which is why most window manufacturers offer a grey, beige, off-white and white in their standard offerings.
Interior Colors
The most popular interior color for window frames and sashes is white. This is because most people have white trim and it looks best. However, black has grown in popularity in recent years.
