Black Disappears in the Garden

Lot of folks think that painting things green makes them blend in better in the garden. Not true. Green actually sticks out worse in most cases. The color that blends in so well that it virtually disappears is black. Here are some various examples of the idea showing before and afters. I use a flat latex paint because its easier to clean up and apply it to the chain link fabric with a long nap masonry roller. Then I use cheap paint brushes for the posts and other metal objects. The effect is nice. Give it a try.
