Help! Pebble Sheen Colors!

[courtneyhi]

Hello everyone! I cant make up my mind on Pebble Sheen colors! Currently thinking about Aqua Blue with Simmering Sands or Blue Granite with Shimmering Sands. Our pool is a modern rectangle shape with the deepest area being 6ft, there is a hot tub, surrounded by grass. My husband doesn't want the pool to be overly dark- he prefers medium to light blue. I prefer a medium to dark blue. We have partial shade in the pool area. Can anyone share photos of their Pebble Sheen pools? Has anyone done either of these colors? . I attached an inspiration picture of the water color that I like. Any advice or personal experiences are appreciated!

I’m sure you probably already saw this, but on their website you can click on each individual color and it gives you an idea of what your water will look like on a sun shelf, at 3 foot, 6 foot, and 9 foot depth. Also, they have examples of pools with each individual color and they have a pool color selector tool which can sort of give you an idea of what it will look like. We wanted a medium blue and are going with Blue Surf with added Shimmering Seas.

Pictures don't always accurately reflect the colors of plaster. Varying exposures of sunlight, shade and depth of water will affect color. I wanted a medium blue and loved pictures of blue surf. Here’s a couple of pic’s:

More important than the color is the make up of the plaster. Here is some info about that:

This one talks about making sure the plaster you get is done the correct way:

Saying that you can not go wrong with those colors! All so pretty!!!

Thanks! How deep is your pool? So pretty!

It’s a sport pool, 5 and a half in the middle. Let us know what color you decide to go with.

My pool is Pebble Sheen Aqua Blue and the deepest part is 5.5 ft in the middle. Here is a picture after application and before filling and also one just after completing the fill.

Love it!

Sorry, I forgot to add mine has the Shimmering Sea additive also although you really can’t see that in the photos.

I’m pretty sure that is what we are going to do exactly! Are you so happy? Any regrets?

 

[ware462]

I am very happy with the pool surface and water color! We tried very hard to keep the cost down as much as possible and my only regret is that I did not go ahead and spend a bit more on the pool surroundings.

Is the attachment on your original post the pool you will be putting in? It is beautiful!!!

I think it looks great!

No it’s just an inspiration photo for the water color I like. I will attach a rendering of our pool.

 

[ware462]

That is beautiful also!! I hope all goes well for you. I wish I had gotten a quote from Cody Pools because I have heard good things about them.

This is written tongue in cheek but it's my thought...

If you want blue and Pebble Sheen. It's Blue Smurf and then everything else is just that, not Blue Smurf. It's lighter or darker than BS.

What is the blue surf equivalent in the stone scapes mini line?

 

[tampatommy]

I would say probably tropics blue, but blue surf looks like it has a deeper blue pigment.

We are going with Blue Surf....seems like a nice mid-color blue. I've had the really dark pebbletec the last couple pools and it makes the water look clear. Looks pretty good in my opinion but I wanted a change this time. I'll post some pictures when it is installed in the next few weeks.
