Who here has dark terrace slabs and has already experienced at least one summer with them?
We are currently choosing the slabs, but I am concerned that the dark ones will get too hot in the sun, making it uncomfortable to walk on them barefoot. Experience from last year’s vacation shows that the heating strongly depends on the color.
Also, how prone are they to dirt? Light-colored slabs tend to hide dust and pollen more easily.

It’s not as long as I expected, but there is a tip from Google where a company measured temperatures of decking materials.
Hello,
I would choose something that visually appeals to you the most (low-maintenance and sustainable). My preference would be a darker material that absorbs heat. If there are just a few days each year that get so hot you can’t walk barefoot on it—which I really hope won’t happen ;-)—you can still enjoy it during sunny days in the colder seasons.

On vacation, you also cannot walk barefoot on hot sand at a bright beach. The only differences are in how the heat is retained.

I came across this post again by chance. After one year and two very warm summers, I’m glad we chose the light gray stones.
As a comparison, we used anthracite paving stones as a path to the terrace, and today it was impossible to stand on them because they became so hot.
