cable railing color

Cable railings color selection can greatly improve the aesthetics and transparency of your cable railing system. At San Diego Cable Railings we offer a wide variety of colors, textures, and bare steel finish options for pre-made cable railing kits. One of the most frequent and challenging choices for customers is color selection. At present, our most popular choices have been metallic powder coat, matte black, bare stainless steel, and medium grey tones. The look of bare steel and colors that mimic bare steel are top choices among designers and trade professionals. Consideration of space usage and desired aesthetics are very important considerations for customizing your cable rail or cable fencing project. Here are a few helpful tips and photos from our cable rail pros that will touch on some common finish option scenarios. ▸  Grey tones and matte finishes are more subdued and perfect for landscape settings where the emphasis is on transparency. ▸  Natural wood railings combined with grey railing posts and stainless steel cable will disappear among trees and hillsides. We use green toned grey railing posts to blend with rivers and lakes. ▸  Light grey is perfect for beach style railings, as is weathered wood. ▸  When cable railings are constructed in natural settings or on older homes, rustic designs can be preserved when materials are properly selected. Heavy timbers or rough-sawn combined with cable will soften the look and feel of what is typically considered a modern or contemporary cable railing.
