Weathered Wood

Shaun Martin, CEO of We Buy Houses in Denver, Colo., says driftwood-inspired tones are gaining in popularity but have lasting power, too. “This light, driftwood-inspired color is perfect for creating a beachy look,” he says. “It’s also great for hiding imperfections and blending in with your surroundings.”

Martin says he’s a fan of the rich, golden-brown color of natural oak vinyl fencing, in part because it creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. When thinking about fence colors, consider the surroundings. A natural oak colored-fence offers a beautiful backdrop and contrast for your landscaping.

Blue

Potts suggests blue as a wild-card fence color choice.

“It is said to have a calming effect, particularly when paired with rough-sawn or otherwise natural looking timber,” he says. “It balances well with green in the yard and garden, and the various hues can be considered to match your taste and the color temperature of your home.”
