My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pool finish?

11 years ago
I'd love to know what mixture of Diamond Brite you used to accomplish such a beautiful blue. Would it be possible to get the formula.

    I believe it was mix between Tahoe and Onyx that was used. I would suggest having your pool contractor provide a couple custom mix samples for you to evaluate. Thanks.

    I'm still struggling with a decision on my new pool. I have gone to the the SGM distributer myself and they gave me samples of cobalt blue, steel blue and ocean blue. Cobalt is 6parts midnight blue 4parts onyx, steel blue is the lighter sample and I believe it's 8parts Tahoe and 2parts onyx. I don't know what ocean blue is. Your pool is exactly the color I want and out of the tree samples I don't know which one would give me that shade. What would you say? Thanks

    Suzanny27 did you ever figure it out? I would love to know too! TIA

    I went with the darkest formula, Diamond Brite Cobalt. The formula is 60% midnight blue and 40% onyx. I love it. Good luck!
