The acid wash is a MUST with the smurf color! I still want someone to put a smurf toy by the plaster before it is acid washed to see how close they are in color! LOL

I am super thrilled with this color actually!
I agree. My wife wanted "blue" (we had old black plaster that had lots of streaks / etc, and I think she was over-compensating for that by going a lot lighter), and I think I would have naturally gravitated more towards the blue/grey colors myself. We had actually selected Aqua Blue, but then I made a last minute change to Blue Surf. I'm definitely happy with the choice we made, and my wife likes it too. What more can you ask for?
Yes I was wanting with water
I included the other samples that have been my major contenders. The samples have all been soaked in water all day yesterday and last night. But..... it looks like the older colors, and samples, may be really old and not absorbing the water well. I'm not sure how good this comparison is.... I guess it's something. I'm still going with Blue Granite. It's tried and true. The Blue Surf looks darker than the Blue Granite (I don't want anything darker than BG). I'm concerned the darker color may get the water too warm for me in Houston.
