Now that the plaster is in and looks great, I'll stir the pot. What color plaster was your choice?
If the water looks this clear now I can only imagine how beautiful it will look in a couple of weeks

The water and plaster color will change over time. Try taking the same photo every couple of days to see if you detect the transition. When you add the salt, the color will definitely change.

This morning I'm calling the color "Essence of Plaster Dust". PB starts the pumps, etc, tomorrow afternoon.

How refreshing looking! It may not have been your personal first choice color, but it looks fantastic! Congratulations!
Thanks for the positive feedback, y'all, I like the color, but I tease husband that it is not a color found in nature. He insists that this is exactly what pools should look like, based on his childhood memories. I'll post a new pic with waterfalls hopefully this weekend. I will admit that the white-based finish makes the LED lights look FANTASTIC!

At one week, water color continues to change... ignore leaves at the bottom for now...
Thanks, I am super happy that it has changed so much in a week.
Matt says it changes again at 4 weeks when you add salt, I wonder how?

I love how everyone's pools are so different. Your pool looks so cool and refreshing! Jamie's has that deep water look. Both are gorgeous!
I'm afraid mine is going to look very artificial- like egg dye solution...

Nope, will not happen because yours has the artistic touches like the gorgeous tiles at an angle and plaster plans.
Here's some flowers for you and a big ((((HUG)))) for reassuring me about my color choice.
Helen it looks fantastic! It's so neat to see how the colors evolve.
No way Denise! Your color is going to be so pretty, just wait. Besides, can't look artificial when it will be real in a real pool!!

HELEN! I picked a good color for your pool! I love it and am so happy to hear you like it also!
nini, your pool NEEDS to be that deep, rich blue! It just fits you and your area!
Every pool so far is purrfect for who it was built.
