Fences provide homes with form and function, adding privacy and security as well as style. There are many reasons you might be considering installing or upgrading your fencing, and the range of materials and designs is impressive. Wood and vinyl are among the options that offer color choices, too. If choosing a color is a concern, here are some considerations and popular options to help narrow the list down.

What to Consider

If you're looking for aesthetic harmony, the colors of your house's exterior and trim are important factors. Generally, it's better to match your new perimeter to the trim instead of the primary exterior color, as this provides a pleasing accent. For example, if your home has white trim, a white picket installation will likely look fantastic. If you have a wooden door or shutters, a wood fence with a similar stain would be attractive.  

Neighborhood regulations may also come into play. If you're part of a homeowners association that requires uniformity, a dark blue or gray fence might not be allowed, particularly in the front yard. If you don't have close neighbors, a homogenous look may not be necessary. 

Finally, think of your landscaping and whether you want the fence to stand out or blend in. For example, a plain wooden fence with a medium stain or a white vinyl fence pairs well with twining vines and garden beds. 

What Are Some Popular Options?

Brown wood stains are classic choices, ranging from pale to dark brown. These will match nearly any type of home, from brick to vinyl siding, and colors like blue, weathered grays, and dark yellows are also in vogue on modern properties. White pickets are always in style for both vinyl and wooden fencing.
