Colorbond Fence Colours
BlueScope makes 22 Colorbond® colours in three ranges, and a fence is the largest single surface most of them will ever be seen on. A chip that looks right in the hand can look wrong across twenty metres, which is why we bring the samples to the site and hold them against your render, brick and roof in the light the fence will live in. This page is every colour, what each one suits, and the three things about colour that people only find out after the fence is up.
All Colorbond fence colours available in Melbourne
The standard range is 15 colours and covers the whole spectrum from Surfmist, an off-white, to Night Sky, a true black. Four metallic colours add a fine mica fleck that catches the sun; three matt colours take the sheen off the three most popular darks. Melbourne's inner and eastern suburbs buy Monument first, then Basalt and Woodland Grey; bayside buys Surfmist and Shale Grey to keep the yard bright; heritage overlays lean to Cottage Green, Manor Red and the matt darks that read as painted. What people learn after the fence is up: a dark colour on a north-facing run gets hot enough to matter for a plant or a hand, the darker the colour the more the fence shows dust and pollen, and a colour that matches the gutters exactly is usually one shade wrong for a fence because the gutter sits in shadow.

All 22, honestly compared
We tell you which darks run hot, which lights show dirt, and which matt finishes are worth the premium in a heritage overlay.
Matched end to end
Sheets, capping, post caps and gate from one batch in one colour. No near-enough on the gate.
Colour on record
The colour name goes on your invoice and inside a post cap, so a repair in ten years is not a guessing game.
