Best answer
Dark grey, even black for me, the fence will 'disappear' if painted a very dark colour, because you want the plants to be the stars of the garden, but best of luck whatever you decide

I think the same colour. As your lovely shrubs grow, they'll add a nice contrast.

I'd say darker to match the other bits. Where did you get the decorate piece from in the middle of the flower bed? I've seen a few people with these, they're lovely!

The same color. The fence and planter are not focal points, the plants or other decor are.
