Almond replacement windows, and tan ones, are the off-white frame colors that match the beige and sand siding on many 1980s and 1990s houses and the almond windows already in them. JMB Builders holds samples against your siding and the windows you keep, orders the closest line through ABC Supply and installs them across the Twin Cities metro. Priced per window. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Almond, tan and sand are different colors; we sample
- Matched to the siding and the windows that stay
- Capping and caulk in the same color
White is not the only frame color, and on a lot of houses it is the wrong one. Beige, sand and clay vinyl siding, tan aluminum siding, and brick in buff tones were all sold with almond or tan windows, and a stark white replacement window in that wall jumps out from the street. Almond is a warm off-white; tan is a step darker toward khaki; sand, clay and beige sit between them depending on the manufacturer. Every line names them a little differently.
The job is to hold the real color against the real wall. We bring frame samples from the lines ABC Supply stocks and set them next to your siding, your soffit and the windows you are keeping, in daylight. The closest one goes on the order, inside and out or almond outside with white inside if the room trim is white. The aluminum capping on the exterior trim and the sealant come in a matching almond or tan so the whole opening reads as one color.
Almond and tan are stock colors on several vinyl lines, so a plain-sized almond double-hung or slider may be available without a long wait. Two-tone or a less common tan is custom ordered. We tell you which at the estimate.

Situations and options
Almond inside and out
The same warm off-white on both faces, the usual match for a house that had almond windows and almond interior trim from the start.
Almond outside, white inside
A two-tone order for a house with beige siding and white painted trim inside. Not every line offers it; we tell you which do.
Tan or sand exterior
A step darker than almond for khaki, clay or dark beige siding, usually with a white or tan interior. Mostly a custom order.
Match the ones you keep
When only some windows change, the sample goes against the old frames, not just the siding, so the new ones sit beside them without a step in color.
Almond and Tan Replacement Windows to Match Older Siding: questions, answered
What is the difference between almond and tan window colors?
Almond is a warm off-white, a shade darker than white with a cream tone. Tan is darker and browner, closer to khaki. Sand, beige and clay are in between and vary by manufacturer. The names are not standard across lines, so we match by sample against your house rather than by name.
Will new almond windows match my old almond windows?
Closely, if the line is picked by sample. Vinyl almond from different makers can differ by a shade, and old frames fade a little, so the sample goes against the existing window in daylight. If the old line is still made we order it; if not we show you the nearest current one before you sign.
Which window lines come in almond or tan?
Most vinyl lines carry almond or a tan as a stock color, options such as MI Windows and Silver Line among the lines ABC Supply stocks. Fiberglass and clad lines offer their own off-whites as custom exterior colors. We bring the samples for the lines that fit your budget and style.
Should I pick white windows on tan siding instead?
You can, and some owners want the contrast. The trade is that white windows on beige siding read as the newest thing on the house and make the siding look older. Almond keeps the window in the background. If siding is being replaced soon, pick the window color for the new siding, not the old.
Does the capping match almond windows?
Yes. Aluminum trim coil comes in almond, tan and sand shades, and the exterior sealant does too. We hold the coil sample against the window sample so the frame, the capped trim and the caulk read as one color from the street.
Can I get almond outside and white inside?
On some lines, yes, as a two-tone order. Others offer almond only as a solid color on both faces. If your interior trim is white, we steer you to a line that does the two-tone so the room side stays white and the outside matches the siding.
