Water Color Guide

NPT® Interior Pool Finishes are exquisite mixtures of color and texture in an array of spectacular blends.

While our formulas are accurate and consistent, the color of your pool’s water will be uniquely yours. The secret to having beautiful pool water is selecting the right interior pool finish for you.

First, decide...

whether you would like the water in your pool to appear blue or green.

For water that looks primarily blue, select a finish with white, blue or gray pigment. For water that appears green, look for green, tan, brown or black pigment. The darker your finish, the darker your pool water will be.

The deeper the water, the darker it will appear.

Water will seem lighter in shallower areas like steps, ledges, benches, and beach entries where the finish itself is more visible.

Since your pool water will mirror its surroundings, many other factors will impact water color.

The design, shape, and depth of your pool
The time of day and position of the sun
Whether the sky is sunny, stormy, or overcast
Your region of the country
The chemistry of your water
Landscaping, trees, bushes, & other foliage
Colors in your home’s exterior

When selecting your pool finish, texture should be considered in addition to color.

For the beauty and endurance of a smooth quartz finish, select NPT QuartzScapes® or ColorScapes®.
