But I'll see what I can come up with, any ideas are welcome.
Retro games often used one frame of colour, with one frame of transparency or a dithered single frame with colour+trans. Alpha or blend mode probably gonna look best though. Or you could have the beam fade from pure white to your lighter bg colour, only as far down as the fence top. That way it'll always be over two similar values and hopefully look okay over either.
