Choosing diamond brite color

12 years ago
I'm trying to find a diamond bright plaster which would go well with my contemporary style pool. The coping and surrounding decking is ivory travertine and light concrete. My favorite watercolor is the Caribbean colors of the vibrant aqua and even the light crystal clear waters as well. My pool builder has discouraged me from these colors due to the water often turning too green. I like the Crisp light blue water of a contemporary pool but it's just lacking that pop of color..preferably aqua or turquoise...but still light and clear enough to give contemporary element..I have considered Diamond brite classic, oyster quartz, blue quartz, aqua quartz, aqua blue, and cool blue plaster colors..always ending back up at square one..we live in south Louisiana where such a variety of pools are not available to view..90% of pools here are fr gray..and although I've seen some really pretty results...it too often changes into a deep ans even somewhat gray hue which does not appeal to my taste..I only have day or so to decide..does anyone have any advice on how to achieve this look...I would be open to all suggestions, and love to here u ideas...pictures of these colored pools would be so helpful as well!!!

    hi robin...i am currently in your situation and am soooo frustrated...colors look so different on the computer and in brochures and i am also unable to see pools in person...i don't buy things sight unseen and i am having difficulty picking out a color without seeing what the water will look like...what color did you end up with and are you happy?

    Hi! I am in the same situation. I Like the crisp contemporary look, did you finally decide for a particular color? If so, which one did you chose and do you have any pictures?
    I need to decide my color soon. Thanks!

    Hi Robin. I’m wondering what you decided on. I’m in Laplace and am looking for the same coloring. I want a Turks and Caicos water look.

    Our pool is currently an old FRENCH grey (of course). Changing pool color is one of the first things we are doing to our new house.
