Best Paint Colors for Fences
Posted on June 3, 2019
Traditionally, fences have been left in their natural state of brown. While they are long forgotten outdoor elements, some homeowners are adding a design element for their home by adding color to the fence. While black and white are safe choices go beyond brown with top wooden fence colors.
Besides providing a style element, paint can provide a protective layer to your fence. By adding a paint or stain, you are providing a layer against weather and pests. Here are some colors for you to choose from.
Grey
As a stain, grey is an option that will let the beauty of the wood show through in a natural but weathered way. Colors like Eucalyptus give you a modern take on a classic color. It works as a neutral and can look appropriate with a classic or modern home.
Blue
Not royal, but closer to a blue grey color. Amsterdam is a great blue the has grey tones in it. Make sure the color goes with the ambient colors in your house color palette. This is a great color to make your fence fade into the shrubbery and skylines.
Dark Yellow
Golden Ember is a recent frontrunner in colors for fences. The color is a muted mustard stain. It will give your tired wooden fence a golden glow with the natural beauty of wood showing through.
Dark Grey
Dark Grey fences are lighting up Pinterest boards country-wide. Going grey is a good way to create a modern and hip home with a Granite colored fence. Grey is a good choice as a stain or a paint and will work as a neutral in your color palette.
Going into a fence color choice, you’ll have to decide if you want to go stain and let the wood show through, or paint with a thicker color. Don’t feel like you are limited to natural colors when choosing a color. More importantly, choose something that matches your colorscape outside your home. Take inspiration from your landscape, house colors or design elements on your property. Always consider rules that could be in place from your HOA or other governing bodies.
