What colour fence paint is best for overcoating old dark colour?

Use light purple color with mixed white by camel company,because we can see light color when it is overlap in dark color.Fabric paint of camel company Indian.

Mine is dark oak - will take a picture.

Sorry - pad doesn't seem to want to co-operate but it covered blue fence paint well with a couple of coats and new panels last year which were the horrible orangy tellow with a couple of coats. Bought at B & Q

I've tried a few dark looking fence paints / stains or whatever you call them and i've been extremely dissapointed with them all,

yesterday i tried Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care Rustic Brown as the photo on the side of the tin has a nice really DARK brown on it. well, its light orange in the tin and after a coat over my fence the colour vanished underneath the old colour of fence.

The old colour of the fence is a bit lighter then the colour on the tin, so i thought i'd try a bit on unpainted reject piece of fence panel just to check, wtf! how can cuprinol put a photo of a really dark brown on the tin when it dries really light compared to the photo!

Can anyone recommend a really dark brown fence paint / stain that i can over paint my fence with, the fence currently looks a kind of teak / dark brown colour, so i need a dark colour to go over it. I have to buy it online as i don't drive and live nowhere near any hardware stores.

I've been looking at some dark oak colours as they look to be a really dark brown colour on the tins, but now i just dont trust these paint manufacturers so can someone tell me what brand and colour should i use? I want a really dark brown colour, not pale or light brown

Thanks
