for what its worth even with all the new colors of composite decking most don't find the colors all that appealing. Keep this in mind when you are looking at it, and make sure the wife will approve. Plus one other thing on average most people change the color of there deck at least three times during the life of a deck. A pressure teated deck when maintained properly should last 20 years. With the average cost of cleaning the deck to be around 20 bucks once a year and on average with a good quality you would be re-staining ever three for a cost of around 100 bucks. And if you are looking for wood grain most composite has none. But hey you can always use a solid colored 100% acrylic stain on it.
