Aqua Blue or Blue Surf Pebble Sheen?

[hamanbhatia]

I have a 10 by 32 pool under construction. The 10 feet section widens to 13 for a bench (picture attached). The house exterior is dark red/brown bricks. Me and my wife have to pick a color. We initially started with a liking for dark, then switched to lighter, and then finally came back to medium/dark colored water. So, it has come down to Aqua Blue and Blue Surf. We don't want the water to look greenish, that's our main requirement. All of our selections are light (coping, brick wall etc.). I looked at numerous pictures (including the 6 page long thread here) but cannot seem to decide. I have seen Aqua Blue in person but haven't seen Blue Surf yet. Hoping my PB can arrange for a visit to one of his customer's.
Question: Any recommendation? Any particular reason one might be better than the other? Does one look greener than the other? Any insights will be super helpful!

Also, while you are at it, the two decking tiles being considered are Bone White or Kahlua (Sundek tiles). What do you think will look better given the house exterior. Also, we are in Houston, TX so it does get hot.
Thank you all for your help and time!

Hi, yes! That was the 1st post I had seen. Just curious to know if anyone has any opinions about our pool, with the selections we have and the house exterior that we have.

I have blue surf and it is not green at all. I really like the color of the deep end but the shallow side is a little on the light side, kind of wish I went darker but it's not a huge deal for us.

I have the same brick at my house and Blue Surf plaster. It looks good, with no green tint. There's a reason it's the most popular color.

Aqua blue would be slightly lighter in color.

Nice, good to know. Possible to share a picture, one in sunlight and one in shade, if not too much of a pain? Thank you so much for your input and time!

Thank you would much for your help and time! For some weird reason, it looks greenish to me. I really need to see it in person. Do the shallow parts of the pool look blue as well since I think blue surf has a blue base.

I would agree with seeing it in person, I took the pics and they look a bit different than they do do in person. The shallow end is a light blue. Maybe pebbletech can give you some local references to check out?
