When many homeowners consider pool design, they believe there’s only one option. The right pool tile can give you significant design control, allowing you to drastically influence aesthetics such as water color and surface reflection. The color of the inside of your pool can also impact water temperature. Here are a few tips to ensure you take the necessary steps to design a pool you’ll love.

How to Select a Pool Color

1. Consider a Theme

First, know your theme. If you want a tropical oasis in your back yard, you may want a white or gray finish to capture the look of crisp Caribbean waters. If you’re planning a more natural design fenced in by dense landscaping and wood, green or brown pool tile will give the water a natural, green hue. Starting here will help you narrow down your choices. 

2. Keep Texture in Mind

Texture contributes to the pool’s interior look and water color. Pebble-concrete aggregates provide a natural, riverbed-style finish. Glass beads and natural stone will create a crystalline aesthetic that refracts sunlight to create a beautiful, shiny surface. This option will require more cleaning while pebbles are more stain-resistant. 

3. Consider Finish

Like paint, a final finish is applied to the color. A crushed glass bead finish can be laid over aggregate so that the water glistens. A crushed seashell finish will refract different colors atop the surface to create a unique, rich quality.
