Choice of paint for porch

We are having the front porch painted white.  I need some advice on what color to paint the floor of the porch.  Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.  Our house is a light pale green.  I am not too fond of that color.  I had thought about doing it all white including the floor.  My painter says a white floor will get too dirty.  Our back deck is redwood and I don't want to paint it that color again. 
 
 
 
This is our back deck.

Hi - nice house :-) I think a dark pine green or charcoal gray would be lovely.
Happy New Year...

I have no suggestions but I can tell it is going to be nice.

Gail, I thought about both of those colors. I am also thinking about just staining the floor.

DeEtta, Thank you for the nice comment. What do you think about staining the floor?

You don't want a white deck. No you don't. It will look dirty all the time.

I would probably blend into the area. The trees and plants. Whatever color that would be.

Have a fabulous day honey. Big hugs and may you and hubby have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. :)

I think stained would be beautiful!
Otherwise, a dark, forest green might be good. I find that stained wood is very forgiving if you don't get round to varnishing it as often as you would wish.

Sandie, I think you are right about white. I am going to have it stained. Thanks for your advice. It is much appreciated. Happy New Year.


Mimi, I appreciate your comment. I talked with our painter and he said the same thing. I will post the finished pictures. Thanks for coming by.

Stained sounds lovely. Can't wait to see it finished.
