Just had my pool replastered and I'm confused

[Birdsfan]

I have a 22,000 gallon chlorine sport pool (6' deep end) and 3 weeks ago I had it replastered. I went with Diamond Brite French Grey after originally having white. I have never seen a pool this color but thought it would look more "lagoon" like. While my steps seem good the pool floor seems more like a water color painting of a cloudy sky if that makes sense? I have brushed the pool twice a day, tested the water every other day at a pool supply store and at this point have only added muriatic acid every other day to knock the ph down and calcium carbonate as directed. I have been adding the chemicals to a bucket of water then adding to the pool while the DE filter is running, which is 18 hours a day. Is this what the finish is supposed to look like? I'm not even sure I don't like it I just don't want to spend $10k on something that isn't right. Anyone with a Diamond Brite French Grey pool wish to share pics please do so. One photo is the day of, about a week later then today.

We built our pool in 2018 and used Diamond Brite French Grey, as well. Yours looks accurate to me. I think all of the colored plaster like this looks mottled, and won’t appear perfectly smooth. I was concerned at first, but we like it. I’ve attached a few pictures of ours.

That makes me feel better. BTW, I love your outdoor space!

I did read that thread first but didn't post there, I saw a message that stated it was an older thread and would not be responded to.

Its just for pictures and brand/name of plaster finish. We try to weed out comments so that viewers can just see the pools.
