Fence colour to give illusion of distance

[WendyS]

We're about to have a new fence at the end of our garden. The raw wood is very light in colour and will look odd against the two side fences which are stained Forest Green.
I don't really want to stain the bottom fence to match in this dark green colour which will have a visual effect of "hemming in" the end boundary.
Can anybody suggest a colour of fence stain (& manufacturer) which make the the new fence blend in but seem further away than it really is. Ideally I'd like to buy a small sample pot of stain colour but don't know if anybody makes them. Thanks.

It depends on the 'colour' at the bottom of the garden without the fence. The eye needs to see through it. If there are trees about maybe a very dary brown would 'disappear'

isell fencing and at the moment we are doing a roaring trade on nut brown tanalised panals due to them blending in amd looking established but yet new!!

they also say that the tan green colour gives the garden a wider feeling.

Thanks for your responses. I'm intrigued as to what shade tan green is. Is it a brown shade, or a green, or a sort of combination khaki colour? I've looked at most of the shades of fence stain in the big shops and they mostly seem to be Forest Green (or a similar dark green), Cedar or Chestnut Brown.

tan green is the same colour as decking or new fencing panels.
