How to Paint a Wood Fence

1. Classic Sky Blue
A fresh coat of sky blue paint is a beautiful choice for an outdoor wooden fence. This unusual fence color choice is unexpected and different. A light blue color over your fence panels that blends in with the color of a summer blue sky is guaranteed to brighten anyone’s mood.
2. Dramatic Charcoal
Charcoal is a dramatic color and a bold choice for painting your wooden fence. Starting from a more neutral or faded color, charcoal will instantly modernize the look of your outdoor space when you apply it to your wood fence. If you choose this fence paint color for your garden fence, your greenery will really pop in contrast!
3. Light Smokey Gray
A light gray paint color goes with anything. This neutral color option for home decor will allow you to put the focus on other things like outdoor patio furniture or colorful landscaping. On top of all of that, it is a great way to achieve a modern look without being too dramatic.
