Thanks Scott for taking the time to put this together. This is extremely helpful since most homeowners have no way to predict the water color except from photos. This video shows how complicated something as simple as pool water color can be.
I am concerned about heat load. I know darker will be warmer, but do you know the tint where it stops being any cooler? White would be the coolest, but I'd like enough grey tone to get blue water.
I like the aqua marine pool color, but we have moss rocks all around, including rock waterfall/slide,...Flagstone coping in darker color to match the rocks better and they will use this for the spill over as well. NPT Tile in Silverstone Silvermarine Aquamarine for around the pool water line wherever there is not rock. NPT Meridian Olive 1x1 tile for the rolled edge on the spa. Rustic Earth Ledger Stacked Stone for around the spa and fire pit. The pool has a tanning shelf, spa, and is 3.5 to 6ft deep. What pool finish color would help give that aqua marine water color, I don’t want anything that looks dark? Thank you!
Great video. My pool is kidney shaped. One side will be turf, one side light colored cream pavers, and the back a light wood look paver. Also my neighbor has long green trees overlooking my pool. Id like to a achieve a not green and not windex pool color. Preferable light to med Can you give me anything suggestions.
Best color theory video that I have seen. Does an excellent job explaining the variables. This is perfect for homeowners and for professionals to discuss the colors.
Good video, but now I'm more confused than ever. We have a small courtyard pool with earth tone house and pavers around it. We want a rich, dark, blue finish. It gets most direct sunlight midday as the sun comes up in the front of the house and goes down in the rear so it's obscured by the house itself. We have decided on the satin matrix wet edge product because we like the smaller pebbles. We like how the Antigua, Tahoe (at least the shady end) and midnight sea look on the satin page in the brochure. So given all the variables noted we are back to step one. what color do we get???
Sorry to hear that you are more confused:-(. I have seen both the Tahoe and the Midnight Sea have a teal hue to them when surrounded by brown or green tones. You may want to choose the Antigua. In most cases, it stays the bluest in similar color schemes.
This is a very good video, especially the last part. The ultimate color is when the "magic" happens and your end result will be a bit of a surprise. Nobody should depend on a pantone-color based print brochure, or their computer screen for what they get.
This video still holds up today. Thank you!! We are building a small pool at our home now and I found this very helpful. So many variables to consider!
Informative Video, Thank You for posting we are using your product on our pool in Redding CA and in the process of color selection. This was really helpful.
Very helpful. When you showed a pool and said it was White Diamonds is that Pebble Sheen White Diamonds? I'm trying to decide between Aqua Blue Pebble Sheen and White Diamonds Pebble Sheen. Different photos look so different! With both colors, some I like and some I don't!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, water color is determined by a number of variables. Just in case you didn't see this video on water color here is a link to it th-cam.com/video/GAt0dOHL6n4/w-d-xo.html. Feel free to call us if you have more questions 877-984-4687.
Thanks for the great and informative video! But just a little friendly advice if I may: The quality, particularly the color, is a bit off. Obviously this is an important detail considering the content subject. Do you have a higher quality file that you could upload? Or perhaps the color can be adjusted?
Hello, the pool depth is entirely up to you. I would suggest sitting down with your pool contractor to help you figure out what depth will work best for you.
At 18:40 It appears the two photos are the exact same picture taken at the same time with the sun in the same position but it has been photoshopped to appear different. You will notice the clouds are in the exact same position.
Thank you for your inquiry. It turns out it was the camera's mechanics that caused a little in-and-out color variation. No photoshopping was done to the photos.
Thanks Scott for taking the time to put this together. This is extremely helpful since most homeowners have no way to predict the water color except from photos. This video shows how complicated something as simple as pool water color can be.
I wish my pool guy was this thorough. He just gave me a box of samples and let me decide.
THANK YOU! Incredibly educational and helpful to us. We really appreciate the effort you put into this video.
Fantastic Video. Taking the time to listen to Scott could save a homeowner from making the wrong decision. Thanks Randy

Outstanding video
Very good explanation... So complex..
Have you ever used crushed abalone??? It looks like treasure in black bottom pool

We are glad that you find the video informative. Thanks for the compliment.
Unrelated-ish... what plants are behind this pool?! I love them!
They are pretty:-). Sorry I have no idea. The pool in the video is in the Phoenix, AZ area.

many times seen pools with dark tile or finish and later the owner was not too happy with it because the water was too dark like a lagoon
🎉❤
this video is toooo long and confusing colors
The point of the video is awareness, not to make your ultimate color decision based on the video.
;
Excellent vedio and very educative information I ever needed. Thanks.
This is a very good video, especially the last part. The ultimate color is when the "magic" happens and your end result will be a bit of a surprise. Nobody should depend on a pantone-color based print brochure, or their computer screen for what they get.
This is such a super helpful video. Thanks.
Excellent video, thank you. But quality of the video destroys your information in picture... Do you work in california??
This video still holds up today. Thank you!! We are building a small pool at our home now and I found this very helpful. So many variables to consider!

Great video and info, thank you

wow, never thought water color was something i was missing in my build design.....great info. i have some thinking to do.
Water color is a big deal to most pool owners. Let us know if you have any questions.
Wow! I did not realize that people could be so picky. The only three things that I would be looking for is big, deep and clear.
Pool looks great!
Thanks for the great and informative video!
But just a little friendly advice if I may:
The quality, particularly the color, is a bit off. Obviously this is an important detail considering the content subject. Do you have a higher quality file that you could upload? Or perhaps the color can be adjusted?
By far the best and most informative video on the subject, thank you!
Great video! Thank you for making this; it is very helpful.
great information
I actually did want the info on the reflective science of it
Thank you so much for this video. It gave it a real expectation on what color to choose.
You are welcome! Happy Swimming!
FINALLY!!!!! Thank you for spelling it out. Thanks for answering the question that no one else seems to be able to answer!!
Great video and very helpful in my search!!
I like curved pools and light blue water color
thank you for the good info. is 3 to 5 feet deep pool good size for family that are up to 6 feet tall
Hello, the pool depth is entirely up to you. I would suggest sitting down with your pool contractor to help you figure out what depth will work best for you.
What if you’re in the Northeast with cloudy days?
Water absorbs the sunlight's wavelengths. On very cloudy days the water will be transparent.
Extremely helpful!
May I ask what type of stone those pavers are?
Hello Lori, we are glad that you enjoyed the video. Sorry, I do not have any information on the pavers.
can someone form your place contact me
Excellent video. I found the information very helpful.
one word wow thank you so much
Lot to consider 😭
