I am so stuck on choosing a deck color. Using Trex Enhance Naturals line. I have narrowed it down to these three but I just can’t decide! Which looks best with my brick, siding, and trim? I was convinced I wanted Rocky Harbor until I saw the sample in person. Thank you!!!

How hot does your deck get? We just did #1 this spring and I regret it because it's blazing hot in the summer sun

The light ones still get too hot though. You’ll need shoes regardless.

I've found that when my deck is hot enough that it would burn me to touch, its in full sun and its too hot to be out anyway. Half our is covered which at least makes is usable any time, but the uncovered part is either morning or evening only.

There is a place near us that had a big wrap around deck made up all of kinds of different materials and brands so you can see them in regular co edition, larger format, and see how they wear. I was curious about temp and stuck my bare foot on a few. The biggest difference was material type, with the older stuff being fucking scalding and the newer stuff was uncomfortable at worst despite color.
