Just been looking at junction boxes and conduit to move an external

conduit only comes in black or white?

I was thinking that black would be less obvious than white, but I
havent seen any black junction boxes. Grey wouldnt be too bad but I
havent seen any grey conduit.

Am I missing something?

I think having different colours would just look like I was using up
stuff that I had laying around in the shed rather than specifically
buying stuff for the job.

You can paint it all with gloss.

Yup. Clean new PVC paints very well with just oil based gloss - no primer.
Will outlast wood done at the same time.


So how many people do you know that nip out and gloss paint their UPVC
windows as soon as the installers have gone home?
