Help coordinating with fence stain color

I recently applied a stain to the fence in my backyard (color: cedar naturaltone) that did not turn out to be the color that we had anticipated. Although it looks good and had a dramatic impact on the backyard in comparison to the previous weathered unstained fence the stain color came out a bit to orange looking.


We went back and forth on weather or not to try to bled or mute with a 2nd coat or even do over but in the end we decided on leaving it especially considering that we are putting hedges in front of most of fence which in a few years will cover the fence anyway.


So for now as I work on adding to rest of backyard (furniture, landscape, touches, etc...) I was looking for ideas on how to add color scheme to yard that would help blend the fence in so that the orange tone would not be so predominant.


We are also adding a wood pine ceiling to the existing covered leni and will be build a pergola both of which will be stained and perhaps provide an opportunity to blend with fence.


Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated!
