In the first half of the nineteenth century ‘invisible’ greens (so called because they would blend into a background of foliage) were used for fences, gates, railings and garden furniture. RAINWATER GOODS : Greys (Lead colour). On stucco or rendered façades, the rainwater goods would blend with the façade. FAÇADE (where painted): Stone colours.
