Fence colour help

Hi all, 

We have replaced part of our fencing and would like to stain it now. 

We want the colour to match my neighbor fence - I could ask him if I could paint it in a different colour, but matching it would save lots of trouble and time. BTW he bought the property few years ago so he doesn't know which stain was used there. 

The colour of his fence is shown below:

Does anyone know which stain/paint was used?

Thanks a lot

    That looks like natural faded wood to me. Are you sure it's been painted?

    See original post

    Not 100% sure...I just thought it was stained...There is a small place where you can see very light brown colour (like 'fresh' natural wood) between the edges after late last year correction works, so I assumed it was stained. 

    I have to admit I don't know much about wood colours, so it might be naturally faded.

    Thank you

    The light bit was probably protected from the sun. Your side probably looks a bit different because it gets more or less sun than the other side.
