@ Bernd scheint mir passender. Ich hatte spontan (und unbegründet) daran gedacht, dass der Farbton von Türen auf vorhandene Zargen abgestimmt werden sollte.
Steffen Walter Sep 19, 2011:
@ Bernd Ja, das klingt noch plausibler.
Bernd Runge Sep 19, 2011:
Lesart Hallo David, man könnte das auch so interpretieren: grundsätzlich RAL 7035, und davon abweichend (in Abstimmung mit Behörden, Bauherrn, etc) RAL 7016.

PONS: anstimmen to give the keynote

to coordinate one thing with another, get the keynote for the song...
David Williams (asker) Sep 19, 2011:
OK Or how about "coordinated with"?
Steffen Walter Sep 19, 2011:
With Coqueiro but... ... if Abstimmung is meant here, I'd think of "combined/matched with".
Coqueiro Sep 19, 2011:
typo for ABstimmung (adjustment)?

In the context of colors and dresses, 'Abstimmung' means 'matching'.


But the Anthracite color is the best one to choose. In my perspective it is, because from bright to light colors all match with anthracite color. It’s a color that is not too black and it’s not all glossy type too.

Thanks, Phil
disagree Richard Stephen : See discussion above: 'with approval of/in coordination with [the client]' is much more plausible.

Thanks for your comment, but I'm afraid I don't have the clairvoyance to see "the client" anywhere in the source text provided so far
