Nothing about the fence color, but based on your pictures, I think I would have planted small trees that would clear the fence top and then spread out. The narrow conifers I can see won't supply much in the way of privacy above the fence which is where you want it, no?

How about green? There are many shades from which to choose and it breaks up the sea of brown.

i prefer not to interior design outdoor projects... i let all wood gray naturally ...and the bonus is.. i never have to paint..

of course i would invest in wood that would take the weather for a long time.. like cedar ..

my motto was. pain once.. paint for life.. and sooner or later.. you get too old to paint ...

ken

ps: is the fire hydrant a dog joke.. or real???

Black stain!

Please post pictures of the buildings on your property and what colors you have on your house etc. Fence color should match something on your house, and use solid color stain, not paint.

I would never use paints or varnish or anything which sits on top of the wood. Once the colour starts inevitably flaking off, there is no choice but to sand and start over. A stain, followed by something like tung oil (probably the most waterproof out of all the various woodworking oils) would be my choice and I have to confess, I love the look of black stain. Most plants also look fabulous against a black background (I have a Crimson and Gold chaenomeles on a black stained arbour.trellis which always pleases me).

Ah, just noticed cat_ky has made the same point re.flaking.

Whatever color you choose--consider stain because paint peels...

It was stain. I just said paint. I appreciate all the replies. Hmmmm…

"Colour" should always be a personal choice but since it's your place and I'm not the one who has to live with it, lime green and hot pink sounds like a good choice.

I’m not sure there’s much you can do with the dark brown part of the fence, so if it was mine, I’d do the remaining to match the dark brown. It’s not an offensive color, it doesn’t look awful, it just wouldn’t be my first choice.

@klem1 Thanks a lot.

I would take the path of least resistance and paint the pale wood the same color as the 2 sides of dark wood.

Looks great!

I think it looks really great!

Looks good.

Thank you! I painted like a maniac this weekend! Long days but super productive!

Very nice!
