Would love some deck color ideas.

We have a deck and need to treat it. We are thinking a color stain in a Grey or maybe Red.....would love to get some ideas of colors on decks. It has a railing that an accent color could pop! OR do we use paint :(

    Personally I would stain the deck.As far as color samples, it is best to look at the stain charts and test the color on a piece of wood to see what it looks like

    You should use products made specifically for decks. Choosing from those products, color is a very personal choice.


    If you are working with a designer who is looking at your deck and the entire scene around your deck they should be asking about your color preferences and taking all things into consideration before making color recommendations. Any recommendations from people who cannot see your home are meaningless.

    Grey sounds great ! Maybe with a reddish railing, or bright gold/yellow color. Here is a link that I hope will help. Thanks for using Hometalk for answers :)

    Start with a high gloss bright yellow, light brown or just put a sealer on it. This should give it contrast. I think red depending on what color red, isn't so good.
