TimberTech offers a diverse range of color options, from muted tones to vibrant cascades. To date, the brand offers 38 colors across 12 product collections to choose from. These are as follows:
Vintage
TimberTech’s Vintage collection features advanced PVC decking in rich hues that mimic the appearance of premium hardwoods. The colors in this collection include the following:

- English Walnut. Rich brown tone imitating real walnut wood.
- Mahogany. Reddish brown tone reminiscent of tropical mahogany.

Landmark
Think Vintage, but aged and weathered; that’s how one can best describe TimberTech’s Landmark collection. This PVC decking collection features the following colors:
- American Walnut. A combination of cool browns blending similarly to weathered walnut.
- Boardwalk. Weathered, light warm gray evoking the look of a lightly faded boardwalk.
- Castle Gate. Dark, weathered slate resembling reclaimed wood color.
- French White Oak. Light beige and warm grays complete with oaken tannin streaks.
Harvest
This advanced PVC decking collection is a faithful recreation of painted and stained woods. There are three color choices for this collection:
- Brownstone. Bright, light tan perfect for Scandinavian-inspired decks.
- Kona. A bold, deep brown tone that works well with lighter colors.
- Slate Gray. A warm, light-gray hue that fits any aesthetic.
Harvest+
Similar to Harvest PVC decking, this more advanced collection goes for an aged and lived-in look. This time, TimberTech achieves this style through light stains and wear. The two options for this collection are:
- Timber Gray. Warm gray with gentle weathering and subtle hints of dark gray and silver.
- Toasted Wheat. Light tan with the impression of a sun-bleached, brightly colored hardwood.
Legacy
Legacy is TimberTech’s top-of-the-line composite decking collection. It features artisanal-inspired wood imitations, complete with cascading hues and natural-looking color blends. This collection features the following:
- Ashwood. Weathered, medium gray with dark grains and brown undertones.
- Espresso. Dark tones with cool gray impressions for a luxurious, deeply stained look.
- Mocha. Deep brown with cool undertones reminiscent of rich, stained wood.
- Pecan. Varied brown hues that faithfully replicate real pecan wood.
- Tigerwood. A collection of brown shades with bold highlights and striking color streaks.
- Whitewash Cedar. Light, bright shade of wood perfect for seaside decks.
Reserve
Decking in the Reserve collection evokes the look of reclaimed wood, ideal for rustic-themed decks. These colors are included in the collection:
- Antique Leather. Golden wood with dark undertones and a light patina.
- Dark Roast. Brown with a similar hue to coffee, accentuated with dark and light markings.
- Driftwood. Medium gray imitation of reclaimed wood, complete with lowlights and highlights
- Reclaimed Chestnut. Light brown with gray impressions, with a barnwood-style finish.
Terrain
The Terrain collection offers the look of rugged traditional wood—basically mostly solid colors with an aged look. Five hues comprise this collection:
- Brown Oak. Another imitation of oak, this time in deep brown and blended with moderate colors.
- Rustic Elm. Solid, dark woodland brown mimicking stained elm.
- Sandy Birch. Features a solid color and resembles birch with its light tan.
- Silver Maple. Aged maple look achieved with silvery gray and some subtle blending.
- Stone Ash. Literally ash-colored, featuring cool undertones, giving it a close resemblance to ash wood.
Terrain+
This collection leverages TimberTech’s new, innovative color-blending technology. This gives Terrain+ decking complex colors with a subtle, yet natural-looking grain pattern. Three options are available for this line-up:
- Dark Oak. Stained, cool, and dark brown with subtle highlights and neutral undertones, not unlike barnwood.
- Natural White Oak. Light tan and gray undertones similar to that of slightly aged white oak.
- Weathered Oak. A heavily weathered light gray shade of oak blended with light tones.
Prime/Premier
Prime and Premier are two distinct TimberTech decking products. The only difference is the board cross-section; Prime has a scalloped board for lightweight builds, while Premier has a full profile. Both feature the same color choices, which include:
- Dark Teak. Rich, almost solid, deep brown resembling darker specimens of teak.
- Maritime Gray. Cool medium gray that evokes the look of a stained, aged wood.
Prime+/Premier+
Prime+ and Premier+ elevate the traditional wood aesthetics of their Prime and Premier counterparts. Like the latter, they share the same color options:
- Coconut Husk. Bright tan with golden and dark tones.
- Dark Cocoa. Aptly named for its rich browns reminiscent of chocolate.
- Sea Salt Gray. Gently worn medium gray look that works for any application.
Tips to Find the Right TimberTech Colors for Your Deck
Choosing the right decking color from TimberTech’s vast selection is more than a matter of personal taste. There are more concrete factors to look into, and here are some tips to help you make the right choice:
- Consider your Seattle home’s exterior. Take a good look at your home and understand its architectural language. Note its shades and tones, and let it guide your choice of decking color. If this only narrows down your options, find inspiration in the surrounding landscape. Choose the color that perfectly matches the greenery or the lack thereof.
- Consider your requirements. Your decking colors should complement the type of activities you plan to do on your deck. For instance, if you want to design your deck for relaxation, opt for light, soft colors that evoke a sense of calm. On the other hand, rich, dark hues work well for decks intended to host outdoor social gatherings.
- Consider the local climate. Decking colors can actually impact deck comfort in certain types of weather. For instance, considering Seattle’s climate, mid-tone grays or weathered browns from the Legacy collection may be ideal. They absorb heat, which is great in winter, but are tolerably warm in the Pacific Northwestern summer. As a bonus, these muted colors are forgiving to stains from mud and water spots that tend to show up during damp weather.

Choosing the right color for your TimberTech deck is a journey through the brand’s wide array of decking colors. Your choice should strike a balance between personal preferences and practical considerations. Only then can you find the perfect hue for a stunning desk that will last for many decades.
