Painting Black Metal Window Frames/Panes White: Visual Effect?

I want to paint mine blue to make them more visible. Nothing like boring brown facades to dull the experience. And I’m also unsure how to proceed…would high-quality primer & paint be enough without sanding?

I was thinking of painting my black metal window frames white (to match my walls; then I remembered (I think) that an artist I once met saying something about window panes/frames actually looking less visible to the eye when they are black. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thank you
