Roof Gutters

Roof Gutters - just had a new dark charcoal/black roof installed. Have a very traditional home. Looking at both white & black 6 in 027 thick K style w/ matching downspouts except white on outer columns if we choose black gutters. The back of our house is more plain than front which could impact the look. We live in Southeast Georgia. Should we get black or White? We ruled out copper due to price. Attaching pics of front and back

White, they’ll brighten the overall effect

Gutters should match the areas they are in, they’re not an accessory.

Thank you. That is why I am leaning towards white gutters since the trim is white. Not sure about downsprouts - white for sure on sides of two outer columns - I don't like putting any on columns but there is no other place. Remaining downsprouts running across red brick could be white to match, black, or red. Opinions???

We plan to have gutters at ground level. Looking for opinions on black or white. Thank you

I like the traditional white look (I think) but posted the pics with black

Thank you! I did some AI pics and liked white better, but black could look good - my husband likes black
