A
common, and forgivable, weakness is to accentuate the gates with
an oil stain. In this application, however, we might best consider
our gate assembly in a more modest role by giving it a color that
is more in keeping with the precedent of the house. We're after
the overall affect, the sum of the various contributions to a property
preferably not allowed to upstage the balance of the whole. Perhaps
the olive green we see within the window sashes and bay roofline
would be a better color match.
