Pool Plaster question - Wet Edge Primera Stone

[AMH1]

Hello,
I have been doing some reserach on finding a replastering company for my in ground salt pool in the DFW area. I was wondering if anyone has used the Wet Edge Primera Stones. I am trying to decide between the Sky Blue Treasure and Azure Treasure and the problem is that I can't quiet Visualize what the color looks like by just looking at Online videos and pictures. I can look at the same plaster color on various websites and pictures online and they never look the same. I have asked my pool contractor to see if I can see a recent pool remodel in person but they don't have any pools built with those specific colors.

I want a medium "blue' color that is not too bright or dark but one that's not so light blue or faded sky blue. I appreciate any suggestions or ideas!!

I have Wet Edge Primera Stone and love it. See the Pacific Blue color in my signature below.
Have attached pictures - day & night so you can see.

Thanks so much for the photo! It looks beautiful.....Wife and I are still looking at Wet Edge Primera as it is suppose to be very durable product with a nice smooth finish. I just looked on the Wet Edge website and I see the "Blue Pacific Coast" , Is that what you have?

What confuses me is when you look at the samples, the Blue Pacific Coast is almost the same color as the Azure treasure but it has a "lighter" blue hue color according to the website ?? When the pool contractor brought me samples of both, the Blue Pacific looked a little darker. This is turning into a tough decision

Hey AMH1 and Welcome !!! Don't beat yourself up too bad. Picking a color/finish is an impossible task. The hue changes throughout the day and season and is rarely the same thing twice. All you have to do is get in the ballpark of your preferred color / level of bling and it will be spectacular. I promise.

Here's a couple pics of mine to give you an idea











Sometimes it's yellow or red.

Yes we have Blue Pacific color. What we did was take the samples - I think they were 3 inch squares and put them in our pool on the step. We were doing a replaster so this is before we drained the pool. Also we had original white plaster so easy to see the contrast in different colors. Looking at them wet (submerged) made a difference and also if in bright sun or overcast. So try to go to a friends or neighbors pool and lay the samples in it. Take a white plastic trash bag or a white cutting board to lay the samples on if the pool has a colored plaster. Hope that helps.

Wet Edge Primera as it is suppose to be very durable product with a nice smooth finish.

Agreed. This is we selected it. We have been very pleased with. Just ensure your PB or the subcontractor doing the plaster is an approved installer. You can look at Wet Edge website or call them to confirm. It is either a 10 yr or 15 yr warranty so you want it done by an approved installer.
Agree with @Newdude - don't beat yourself up debating the color. Pick 3 that are close to your goal and then select one as the product to install. We had 4 people input to ours and we took the majority vote. I think it was 3-1 in favor of the one we selected. We said that if it was a tie we were going with the one that we selected since we were paying for it.

Thank you all......for the pictures and very helpfull info! I will follow all the advise and keep looking and come up with 3-4 favorite colors and hope we can narrow them down to the one we like. Just never thought this was going to be soooooo twisted .....lol

Have you thought about patios yet ? I don't mean to kick a person when they're down, but this isn't your only rodeo.

I know man......it just never ends! I don't even want to think about doing any patio or back yard remodel as that is going to be another chapter to read , assignments full of projects and endless homeworks! lol
