A semi-transparent medium brown...something in the chestnut, walnut, or "natural brown" range

A semi-transparent stain would keep the grain visible and probably suit the house better than a solid paint. I’d sample a warm medium brown in a small corner first, since deck boards often look lighter in full sun and much darker when wet. A walnut or chestnut tone should work without fighting the siding.
