I want to know which colour of a fence would go to this house

What kind of fence, brick, iron, timber pickets?? Do you mean side fences or front border fence? If you mean a front fence along your border, I personally would go with a brick and slat fence, same brick as home and same colour slats as the roofing.
The same as the attached photo, but in your colours.

Your budget isnt big so you need to choose carefully what you plan to do. The driveway is fine and it is pale grey. I would pick up this grey and use your money to get new garage doors that are a darker grey than the driveway. The gutters and posts are too white; you could consider using a 50% reduced colour of the garage doors as the guttering and post colour. In later years, I would then change the roof colour to grey. But the guttering, posts and garage doors may fit within your budget. Forget the rest - they aren't important. Putting fencing up is going to make your front yard look smaller. I like the openness of the space.

you may find that you have a local powder coating company who can recolour the Colobond fence.. probably more expensive but better finish than handpainting and the neighbour may be interested in having the other side done as well (but you could also get a quote to replace the steel sheets and just hand paint the posts) and we always use very dark grey on fences and Colorbond Wooodland Grey is excellent fence colour

Paint swatches are your friend here, either sample pots or the A4 size that Dulux introduced. Paint looks different in different lighting and surroundings. Our, barest touch of blue, interior paint, has one wall that throws a bit grey in certain light - the one thing I was trying to avoid - but is perfect everywhere else 🤷🏻‍♀️ . The initial favourite, while the paint chip was very similar seemed over saturated. It’s definitely worth a visit to the paint specialty stores, many have colour consultants, if you’re still undecided. We also found them less expensive, too.

Love dreamers suggestion, I would also consider painting your trims including garage door same colour as roof for an instant beautiful look. Cream brick with a dark paint on trims looks beautiful.

Hi Dinusha, the answer very much depends on what purpose and look you have in mind. I’d agree with dreamer, incorporating your roof colour would be a good choice. There are so many options, from a garden bed if you simply want to delineate your boundary to person height metal options for privacy and to keep an escape artist dog safely enclosed, should that be a consideration. Colour sometimes shows differently on individual screens, but a merbau timber fence could look good too. Or if you’re looking to introduce a new colour, navy perhaps, many retailers have samples or return policies that would allow you to see irl what works for you and your budget. I’m not a fan of brick and I like the hip height paling below, although not that colour for your home, but it’s your space. Go with what speaks to you.

Just some comments --

-- the existing letter box and flower bed is a different brick , and looks jarring IMO , so bear that in mind .

-- the garage door is sooooo dreary , and lets the place down .

-- it looks like numerous tyre tracks across where you presumably want a fence . What caused those ? Is it moving trucks and you've just moved in ? Is it your partner ? Is a fence a joint decision ?

As others have said -- will a garden suffice ? Do you want the white picket fence ? The solid 2 metre fence with gates ? Once you have the ground rules , people can more accurately suggest colours and materials and styles .
