Choosing a Pool Colour

Sky blue? Dark blue? Turquoise? Green? The colour of your swimming pool is one of the most important decisions when starting to work on such a project, because the aesthetic result will change significantly based on the tones you want to see reflected in it.

What factors impact the colour of your pool and how to choose the best colour to suit the surroundings are a couple of the questions answered in this post.

THE IMPACT OF DEPTH AND SURROUNDINGS ON THE COLOUR OF YOUR POOL

The colour of the water in your pool will be determined by several factors that impact the final design. Water depth is one of those factors, the parameters of which will determine water clarity: the larger the volume of water and the deeper the pool, the bluer the water will seem to be.

Surrounding vegetation is something else to bear in mind. Its effect on the colour of your pool depends on the amount of flora that surrounds it. Abundant plant life will give the water a greener and darker tone, while a lack of surrounding vegetation will allow for a design in which the water will seem clearer.

LIGHT TRANSFORMS THE COLOUR OF THE WATER IN YOUR POOL

Lighting is an essential factor that can drastically transform the water colour based on its intensity and source. There are various factors that directly influence water colour, such as pool location (indoors or outdoors) and the surrounding light, both natural and artificial light. The brighter it is, the clearer the water will seem. Meanwhile, weaker lighting will darken the water.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TILES FOR YOUR POOL

The coating chosen for the swimming pool glass, as well as the pavement and coping that surround it, are decisive elements in achieving the desired color.

In the wide range of designs and colours comprising the latest swimming pool trends, it is worth highlighting the sandy, white and grey tones.

Tile selection will be determined by the chosen colour for the swimming pool:

WATER IN A LIGHT BLUE SCALE: we will achieve these tones with coatings in white or very light shades. This type of color makes decorative elements and accessories of the pool stand out.

For a swimming pool on a scale of blues, Exagres suggests using the Marbles Calacatta collection Arctic Lithos and Polar Rock

Turquoise Water and Green Water: These tropical tones are provided by coatings in sand, beige, or earthy tones, which are the most suitable as they reproduce an effect similar to that of Caribbean beaches. These colors also offer a wide spectrum of tones when weather conditions vary.

The Marbles series in Travertino and Crema Marfil or the Litos Sabana model by Exagres are excellent choices for achieving a swimming pool of lighter colour.

GRAYISH WATER WITH BLUE OR GREEN TONES: Gray tones and shadows make the pool water look like sea water, imitating idyllic lakes or even paradise itself. This more subdued hue will help disguise dirt and add a more sober and elegant touch.

To achieve a result similar to the ocean in your swimming pool, Exagres recommends the Litos Siberia series.
