    Hi there, looking for a bit of advice. I am attaching a photo of my back garden that I am in the process of painting.the fence had been painted as yea can see. My dilemma is what colour to paint the walls under the fence and around the raised bit on the right. Was half thinking of black but wondered would it make it too dark. They were originally painted white but the colour showed up everything. Also any ideas on the shed colour?

    Thanks a million for any advice or ideas given.

    Mods...if in wrong place please move :-)

    I'd paint them the same colour as the shed.

    Too many clashing colours creating an unrelaxing atmosphere in my opinion.
    The use of a highlight on shed is terrible. Go for a more calming mellow colour scheme.

    I would paint the fence and raise bed a variant of the nice paving colour and paint the shade with a lighter version for contrast (eg Lavender).

    The patio set would be the accent colour. But the best colour in the garden is the paving, interesting finishing on the joints.

    The cream and indian red are awful and clash with the paving which is the highlight for me.

    Take a look at the Curpinol Shades colour range.
