Hello,
I've name changed for this as my photo is 100% outing, but I'd appreciate wisdom from people with a better sense of gardens, space and colour than I have.
We've recently had the garden revamped and have a new shed arriving shortly which we'd like to paint a colour rather than keep brown so we don't have a hulking great brown lump in the corner.
We were tending toward Cuprinol Fresh Rosemary which we felt would blend into the background (within reason, obviously the shed would still be there!) but a bit left field are now wondering about Cornflower blue as as cheerful and not too dark colour. Is this a ridiculous idea? I've tried a tester and it's not quite as bright on wood as it seems on screen. Does anyone have any experience of similar in a relatively small garden?

We aren't planning to paint the fence or sleepers, but the shed comes in a much darker colour than them. The photo shows pretty much the length of the lawn and we have patio next to the house but the whole garden is only about 10m x 10m.

Would I be mad to paint the shed blue?
