First rodeo -- need help with pool color

last year

last modified: last year

We are building our first pool, rectangular (40x18ft) with adjacent spa. Light grey concrete coping and medium grey pavers (mixed cool grey, some charcoal and earthtone) for the deck. Can't decide between Pebbletech Aqua Blue, Blue Surf, Prism Blue and Clearwater. Don't think a green tint will work with a greyish palette but uncertain. Any insights, experience, suggestions, pictures, etc., would be highly appreciated!

Now that I see the dark blue tile, pick one of the blues that coordinates with your tile. On our screen it difficult to see which one would be the best, look at the samples with your tile.

Can you post a picture of the coping and of the colors you are considering?

A picture or two would be helpful. Show the colour choices you’ve made, and the ones you’re considering. Most of us can’t be bothered to look things up.

Most of your samples to mention are different tones of blue but I like Aqua Blue below. However it would be nice to see at least your samples of the finishes you're planning.

Thank you all for your comments. Here's a photo of the coping, paver color and tile we're thinking to pair. Pls ignore the pebbletec chip -- it's one of several.

FYI, I had similar dark blue tile on my previous home’s pool perimeter it, showed hard water stains badly ( we live in a hard water area ). Without seeing your color choices I would go with the lightest for the Pebbletech, im not a fan of ”unnaturally” dark blue pools, I’ve seen a few at relative’s homes on the East coast where they had vinyl ? liners I believe. Additionally, get one of the smooth finishes, easier on your feet.

I don't love pools with dark/bright blue tile as it reminds me too much of the 1990s faux Tuscan trend where people went overboard with that design.

For my pool I went with muted colors as I wanted people to look out over the pool to the golf course views and not have some bright blue tile or water catch your eye. The water looks less teal in person.
