Advice on fence colour for small backyard

[Berry]

Hello brains trust, I’m looking to paint the old fence of my townhouse’s small backyard and seeking some advice on colour. There are plenty of plants and the colour needs to complement the garden. Dark grey/blue seems very popular and I can see how it makes plants stand out -  I’m just concerned it might look too dark in this small area? Has anyone painted dark (or light) in a small area, and happy to share photos? Thanks

I love the 2nd one , the black colour @EricL

Hi @mich1972 

It must be the traditionalist in me, I prefer the Jarrah as I've seen it in almost every other home. But the Dulux Domino is super modern.

Update: I went with a grey that has a purple undertone to warm it up, British Paints ‘Cable grey’. Hopefully this is not TOO purple in the sunlight, we’ll see! Here’s a before and after - only one coat so far. Thanks @EricL @mich1972 @Jason @MitchellMc for your suggestions.

Far out !!!!!! @Berry  What a massive difference already with just one coat. Looks great. Look at your Lobellia stand out, beautiful 🤩

Sensational work @Berry, that looks terrific!

Well done and great colour choice. Many thanks for updating us with pictures of the finished project.
