Hello everyone. We are in the decision making process of picking remodeling options for our pool (currently white plaster) and have decided to go with a pebble finish. Stonescapes has good options for what we want but we are hesitating on the color. We like lighter tones with a blue/gray water color. Our pool builder has recommended the salt and pepper finish and provided samples but we haven't been able to see pictures of how salt and pepper looks in real life. We would add abalone shells and touch of glass for a nice sparkle. There are multiple videos and photos of the French gray color, which we like but think it may be a bit darker than what we'd want. Does anyone have any experience with how the salt and pepper looks, and maybe provide some pictures? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I am also going to share a thread that shows the bad side of the oh so pretty shells
Abalone Shell Chips and Brown Stains in Diamond Brite Plaster- I used to tell everyone to get them as BLING is good but when it does this it is not a good thing! You can/should add glass beads for BLING the safe and sure way!
After sharing the above link I will say there have been many pools that added shells without any problems. I believe it is like everything....it depends on the source. Some are better than others. I have no idea how to make sure the kind your PB uses are good ones.
I hope this more helpful than not.

Hey there! We are currently in the process of having a pool installed. We are trying to decide between Stonescapes French Gray or White or Salt & Pepper (mini pebbles). I am curious which route you went with and how you like it. Any pictures you can provide would be great!!
Hey what did you end up going with? I would love to see photos? we are in between the same stones.
