Deck paint colour
My house is painted in colourbond Bushland with woodland grey trim. My deck is treated pine and painted in a dark brown colour which i would like to change.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions on what colour to paint the deck

Comments (3)Like Dr Retro, I’m not aware of such a paint product, which is not surprising given you are making 2 big asks for the paint: Firstly, for external flooring which would be subject to abuse/harsh conditions from foot traffic, furniture (eg chair scrapes) and weather. Secondly, to the surface you want to apply to as this is a much harder for the paint to latch onto. If you do find a possible paint solution I would love to hear about it. If there isn’t such a product at least in the lounging/dining areas of your deck you could put a large outdoor rug to detract and shift focus away from the decking colour.

Comments (19)Done a rough design up. Had a concrete guy over yesterday for the concrete under the tiles. He suggested making the "rock garden" go all around the tiled area for water run-off. I've modelled this very much on the inspiration picture from my last post but with the dark brown decking rather than the red. Would I need to take the decking colour into consideration when doing any interior designing?...See MoreIdeas please on what colour to paint deck.
Comments (6)I'm not a huge fan of that yellowy beige , but I can understand why you'd keep it . I can also understand getting rid of the other tones . Personally though , I'd get rid of the red in preference to painting the decking -- I am a fan of wood that you can see is wood haha . Plus I think it looks great , whereas the red not so much . So I'd want to know the new white and blue tones and maybe work in with them -- lets face it , red white and blue is probably best left for another country haha . So maybe change the red for a different but complimentary blue , or go charcoal or similar ....See More

I'd keep away from any brown or fawn or chocolate or coffee .
But here is evening haze --
Here is Evening Haze with Monument ( I realise yours would be Monument with Evening Haze , but this gives you an idea ) --
Here is Evening Haze with White -- getting a bit better IMO .
And here is Surfmist . It would be my pick for the terrace . You'll also see this has white trim .
And , you guessed it , here is Monument , Surfmist and White --

If you wanted to do something classy , but stick to the dark colours , maybe either sand , stain then varnish the existing decking and steps , or replace with cedar or similar , again varnished . More effort , more cost , but will look better , and add value IMO .
You could even add some upright battens the same timber / stain -- it will help break up the gorgeous black haha . . . .
It's hard to improve on gorgeous ( don't I know that ! ) but there you go . . . . . .
