Well, we have been having a pool built for the past 2 months. We told the salesman we wanted a blue pool. The interior finish company came today and applied the interior finish (see signature for build). The pool has been filling for about 8 hours now and is up to the shallow end, and the water looks green! We wanted a blue pool.

Has anybody had any experience that will show what this interior finish water color will be?

Can the fill water cause it to have a green tint?

Are we worried for nothing?

This is a sample of what we have.
It is Florida Gem and the color is White Gem.

That does not look too tan to cause the water to look green, although whiter finishes do tend to be more aqua colored when filled. Where is the fill water coming from?

FWIW, #5 in the attached is a white gem finish

Hard to tell from that picture, it does look kind of blue/green, but with the water feature it is hard to tell. Does anyone have any pictures to make us feel better? We went from an incredible high today to a very definite low. (not that there's anything wrong with it. "Seinfeld")
 
All aggregate finishes look greenish when the pool is first filled. Once you get some chemicals in there the water color will change pretty dramatically.

Here's a picture of our newly filled pool when we had it resurfaced with Tahoe Blue PebbleTec:



And here it is once we added chlorine and got the water circulating:
