If they are exterior blinds and we live in a block of flats, we have to take into account the color that has been decided in the community, and then we assess the material to install.
If they are for a single-family home we will take into account the color of the facade, the color of the windows.
We can also take interior blinds such as Venetian blinds or blinds into account in our decoration, play with colors and think about which room the blind is for.
It is also quite common that those of us who are most interested in knowing the price of the blinds and their material.
