NPT Micro Stonescapes pool pics

[Plaster Problems]

We are about to select plaster and really like the Acqu Blue Micro (not mini). We can’t find any pictures other than their website and trying to determine if any green shows as we are looking to stay away from green. The pics on the website look pretty blue but can’t find much more

Has anyone used this plaster and can provide some clarity. We understand how colors can change but cannot fine someone where this was installed to get an in person look.

Pool Finish and Color Viewing Room...PICTURES & details only please

This is our attempt at having one place that we can view the finished product of various Plaster/Pebble/Quartz/Vinyl/FG/etc. pool finishes. Simply attach a good pic looking down at the steps and another one looking at the deep end to share how it looks at different depths. Make sure to share the...

We have aqua white micro and there's no green. I thought ours looked like a lighter version of aqua blue from all the pics I saw of it. The samples looked similar too with the aqua blue having a sprinkling of black stones instead of white.

From certain angles and depths, the green undertones start to show. Pool is 5ft deep at the drains in the middle so the color would probably develop even more for folks with 6-12ft deep ends. It's probably worth sharing that Moraine plaster color comes from Quartzscape Barbados blue dye pack(s) along with the blue & turquoise colored glass beads that come with any micro pebble finish mix.

Glad to read that your project has been finalized. It appears you are very happy with your interior finish choice. As you may recall we gave up on the micropebble as local pools felt more sand papery, then we did a custom attempt with NPT for midnight blue mini pebble and it was such a bad job, plaster faded in many places within 1 month, rocks lifted out, color was emerald green and in shade lagoon color. We had PebbleTech redo the interior and this time went without any dye. We used PT mini pebble artic white with add added glassbeads. We never get tired of it, so all was meant to be. We discovered you really can't get dark blue water without green hues in mini pebble and our pool is half shaded many hrs of the day, so now we have blue everywhere regardless of the time of day or % of shade. Best of luck with your pool and many happy swim times. I swim almost everyday day of the year, except a handful of dates!

I like the way our micro feels a lot. We have Aqua White though.

You can do Aqua white in Micro Finish?

How nice to read that you are enjoying your microfinish. I really like the concept of the micro. Here in San Diego, it be the installer/company product that was not working well for many people who had it installed and were kind enough to share their experiences and allow me to walk in their spa/pool. I am so blessed to swim almost everyday. It has been almost 3 yrs since completion and I have such gratitude and joy on deciding to finally treat myself to a year round pool. I wish you many happy water moments!

I know this is an older post, but this color is stunning. I love it! I've been looking at all the micro finishes and I love the blue color and that the steps are still blue. It would help if you considered posting this to the Facebook Gunite Pool group. There are very few, if any, pictures of the micro moraine and I believe more people need to see this beautiful color! Thank you for posting. I just got a sample of this from our PB and now that I've seen the pictures I think this is it! Thanks again!

This is so helpful to see! My Stonescape Midnight Blue Micro turned out brown so they are trying to push us into Moraine. Moraine is much lighter than MidNight Blue so it’s not really a true swap. You pool is beautiful by the way!
