Suggestions for making this outdoor furniture

I am wondering if marine paint is what I need to make this indoor furniture work outside on the porch. If so, do you have suggestions for color schemes and will I just need to sand it and then prime and paint?
Replaced the ugly worn black wicker chair with the wooden rocker, but I need to paint and seal it or do something to it to protect it from the elements. Would I need to paint the other items to make the porch look better and blend in? I'm thinking a rug might tie it all together also.
Here is a close up picture of the rocker. It won't be on this porch, though. It will be where it is placed in the other pictures. Thanks so much for suggestions.
