How To Guides
Vivid White™
If you dream of a white picket fence, Vivid White™ is a clean option that can complete a fresh and contemporary look. Its versatility makes it the perfect choice for different fence styles and materials. Particularly metal and wrought iron, as well as the ideal companion for almost any home exterior colour.
To reinforce the effect, you could also complement with cool greys, dark blues or muted greens. See how the High Blue door and Terrace White wall afford a comforting sense of unity.

Vivid White™
Vivid White™ is a pure clean white that is perfect for creating a clean, contemporary look. It is the ultimate choice for modern interior walls and trims and is also ideal for exterior features such as fretwork and window frames. The crisp freshness of Vivid White™ will brighten any space and give it a luxe modern vibe.
Guild Grey
You don’t have to embrace a bold ‘pop’ of colour to enrich your exterior. Guild Grey is a midtone grey with a subtle blue undertone that can add a hint of colour to your facade. Adding a touch of grey can bring to life the exterior features and transform the look of the home.
Ancient Ruin pairs beautifully with soft neutrals and the subtle tones of Guild Grey. Add a pop of colour like Italian Clay to the door to complete the look.
White on White™
Another bright and uplifting option is White on White™. This beautiful cool white works well in a monochromatic scheme. It is a refreshing white that would be a perfect choice for a contemporary exterior scheme.
It works well with other cool whites and soft greys like Grey Pail and also complements natural stone and wood tones.
Wayward Grey
Add a contemporary feeling to your home that extends all the way to the front door. A fence in Wayward Grey brings an intriguing and captivating moodiness that draws the eye. It's best suited alongside a modern or minimalist exterior in a cool or neutral colour.
Augment its warming effect by pairing it with greenery, metal or glass landscaping, and complementing it with features like trim, doors and mailboxes in warm whites, soft neutrals and greiges.
These colours can be a great start to your journey in transforming your exterior. It is important to consider other existing exterior elements while choosing your fence colour. Explore a selection of Dulux outdoor colour schemes.
