Fortunately, you’ll have a bit more leeway when it keeps to picking colors that complement your front lawn or backyard—Mother Nature produces some of the most vibrant colors in the world. Neutral colors are always a safe bet; cool tones contrast nicely with bold colors. Or, you can take inspiration from nature itself—a red fence goes well with pink flower beds while a natural wood-stained fence contrasts with the lush greenery surrounding your home.
Find Out Which Colors Were Approved by Your Local Homeowners’ Association
Don’t forget about your neighbors’ houses. Their homes’ property value might be affected if your facade’s colors clash too much with their color schemes. Homeowners’ Associations (HOA) are quite particular about the color schemes of their members’ house, so it’d be a good idea to consult your local HOA before painting your fence, or making any modifications to your exterior for that matter.
