My parents got a medium grey composite deck installed, south facing. It gets warm, but I don't recall too many sandal days for last summer. I'd often just spray water to cool it down if needed. Hotter than wood for sure, though.
My duradeck is white in color, so it doesn't absorb too much heat. But if you had a darker color, I wouldn't be surprised if it got warm. Spraying water to cool it would help, but be careful it doesn't get slippery. Mine gets slippery if it's a little wet because my kids love pouring bubble mix on the deck. So it's soap slippery. The deck rarely gets really slippery due solely to water though. It's easy enough to use a squeegee or sweeper to push off the water to avoid that though.
