Does liner color affect the pools heat much? Especially in a large pool

[ahreno]

I'm in northern california. Large pool 24x45x36 L. It gets hot during the days 90s-110 but almost every night drops back to mid 50s low 60s.

I want to go with a medium blue similar to this but am wondering if its going to cause my pool to heat up too hot in the summer that i'd need to think about cooling it.

does the color end up making enough difference to go with a lighter color i dont really like? a cooler/chiller is not in the budget.

A darker color will increase the pool water temperature. But if your overnight temperatures fall to 50's and 60's the pool will cool dramatically (along with very high evaporation rates) so I suspect the increase due to color of the liner will not be a concern.
