Paint Porches & Decks

Recommendations for deck paint color

last year

We are repainting our deck. I am heavily leaning towards brown (not too dark) but overwhelmed by the paint color options. We will be purchasing the paint from Lowe's. Looking for specific color recommendations. Open to suggestions other than brown as well. Pictures of current deck attached.

I would match the deck, to the roof color. The reddish color doesnt go well, with the house, and neither would the brown, since your roof appears charcoal.

I'm not sure about the backsplash yet. It will be tiled. But I dont have something specific picked out yet. It wont be bright and flashy though. I am now torn between a creamy color like BM Windham Cream. Or this morning I saw a maple kitchen with Restoration Hardware's Sycamore Green. The woman at BM thought that Windham Cream was too much like natural maple. WDYT?

Deck Paint Recommendation

Where are you folks located as different zones require and have different products better suited to the climate the surface is being exposed to? Do you know what the product is that is on there? (oil based or latex) But with decks cutting corners never saves anything and only makes things worse not lasting as long if proper preparation was done. Personally if it was my job I would palm sand the deck, vacuum clean, prime with a bonding primer and 2 top coats of a quality solid stain.
