What color pool plaster?

My contractor uses the NPT brand plaster. Going with the quartzscape but having such a hard time deciding on the color. Looking at pics on the internet don't help because one color looks totally different from one pic to the next. We are down to french gray, mariner blue, and super blue. Any suggestions on other options or if you are pleased with what you have.

I prefer whatever color is the lightest. The water will look a little more natural and refreshing.

we have qaurtzscape mariner blue and really like it. water looks natural and more like the Caribbean than a pool. we also liked super blue. my pool builder likes their plaster colors.

I did a mix of 3 colors. 50% french gray, 25% aqua blue, 25% super blue. Really pleased with the color, tealish/blue water.

I have DiamondBrite, but I think the colorways are the same. Mine is like 80% Tahoe Blue with 20% Midnight Blue. It was kind of a smurf blue base when they applied it wet. I love it. Here's a picture from a year or 2 back.

We have French Gray. Whatever color you go with, just try to find pics with full sun, cloudy, etc. Here’s ours in full sun and at dusk.

I did Tahoe blue for the brand they used on mine, the more blue the better always looks refreshing.

White. Over time, dyed plaster will get white chemical stains that you can't remove. This won't show up on white plaster and you can remove all non chemical stains.

I can't argue with this either. Our blue is splotchy. It's not a smooth uniform color. I attribute some of that to installing in the blazing sun on the 4th of July a few years back. It doesn't bother me, but it is far from a homogenous color when viewing with goggles underwater. All of the colors have merit (accept maybe the black trend IMO)

Here is the Tahoe Blue/Midnight mix during a light rain.

We went with a medium gray (not sure what the color name was). I didn't want the typical "blue" pool. I wanted the darker gray because I like the lagoon look. My wife thought the dark was to dark and I agree after the fact. Mine seems to have lightened over the last 3 years though.

Dont have many pics on hosting site, here is a corner of ours that is super blue on a cloudy day. I wanted a more natural gray, darker finish, my wife wanted a blue pool. As stated. Super Blue. This is when it was first opened. As we brushed and brushed, more blue came thru the finish.

Who is building your pool? You around central la? Our builder was a great guy, but lacked a touch on the design technology. We struggled with colors for some reason.

We did Quartzscapes Tahoe Blue:
immediately after plaster and before filling:
With water:
With blue lights on in the evening:

Why you want gray water?

My water isn't gray just the plaster. I find it a little easier on the eyes in bright sun with the gray and after doing yard work for 3+ hours the water is wet and its awesome!
