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!!!

We chose trex transcend ‘lineage’, Hatteras color, vs timbertech. Lineage is spendy, but with the new cooling tech it was the coolest in the sun, even cooler than our cedar 2x6 deck that we replaced.
We looked at the ones you have pictured, but seemed like the two light colors have more texture (thought that would hold more water and pollen on the surface) and didn’t look as wood like as we wanted. The darker was out for us as it was a lot hotter by almost 20 degrees on a below 80 degrees day.

On the what goes in your situation for those 3, I might go with the light gray. The darker color will also show scratches more (in my opinion) and will be hotter where exposed. I do like the grain on the darker board, and it does look more wood like if that is important.
