I so feel your pain. I'm in the mist of this too. But we are not only trying to pick a color, but a finish too. Are you convinced on the product Stonescapes, because that is one of our options.

I do know that anything with browns or tans will make the water have a green tint. That's what I think would happen with Aqua, but I could be wrong. I've heard that anything with a blue tint will eventually fade to grey with chlorine "bleaching" it. The darker the grey, the darker the blue of the water, especially in the deep end. Can you ask your contractor to take you to a pool he's done in the color you're interested in?

Here is another, with a close-up of the steps.

Thank you soooo much blue123. These pictures are a great help. We are stuggeling because we have Noble, Rainforest, Lavendar/Blue with white grout, and thought the Aqua may clash but wanted the pretty blue color. Your photos look plenty blue for us. Thank again!

4mom23girls, Our pool builder has a stonescapes installer that he trusts to do the best job of even application. Even better than the pebble tec guys that he has worked with as well. We like the stonescapes mini and will have them add more blue to the aqua cool. The regular stone size showes more blue than the mini. If you know anyone with a pool it helps to throw the samples in to see them underwater.

What color did you end up going with? If it was Aqua Cool is it blue enough?

I have the same question.

Hope you were able to make a decision. Can you post some pix? I'm in the exact same boat. Love aqua cool, but i'm told anything white will stain and I'm also not sure there's enough color. Aqua white seems like a good option, but worried about the blue being too blue on the steps and i prefer an ever so slight greenish (not too much that it looks like algae) tint to the water, bright blue is not my thing. Hope you figured it out & love it!

Hi! Any updates on which one you went with? Was it aqua cool or aqua white? I am in the same predicament and worry aqua cool may be too light and will stain over time. However, aqua white may be too blue for us. Can you upload some pictures of your pool?

I am having issues withthis very same question. PLEASE if you have pictures this would help me soooo much!

We chose aqua cool. Here is a picture.
