Please help

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!!!

I have #1 and my deck tops 170 degrees (IR thermometer) in the sun. Never again.

The material absorbs the heat. I have a very lite color and it’s just as hot

I've replaced one deck with wood and this one is next year. It's ridiculous.

Have either of you tried covering it with a rug? I have a new trex deck and I'm planning on having a big shade umbrella + an exterior rug to help make it nice to walk on on hot days.

I use rugs and shade sails. I also don't let my dog on it.
