Cassidy, we’ll that looks nice. For the period I think the windows would have been anything but white, I could be wrong, the period your home was built was the hight of the Craftsman period white was not an option, a earthy colour to compliment the body colour would be the norm. Colonial and the others may have a better understanding of the period.
As far as the aluminum triple tracks, 3/4 of Gothichomes windows have triple tracks and I have been questioning what to do with them for years. They are very functional for getting air movement in the home and do their job well in the winter so immensely practical if not a bit ugly. They can be painted, but need to be scrubbed and etched well, or the paint will not stick.
Your front porch, it looks to be rebuilt?
