When choosing a color, you need to consider many factors, including the surroundings of the pool, the light, the position of the terrace, the atmosphere, the garden, etc. A task that seems easy, but in reality is not at all!
This article will help you select the perfect color easily and without any hesitation.
First of all, there are some key elements to consider to know what your options are when choosing a color for your pool. Here they are:
The color of your house and the architectural style of your property
The color and finish of your terrace and the style of your garden
The equipment you want to use for your swimming pool
The dimensions and depth of the pool you have chosen
At Mon de Pra Pools, we offer you a wide range of colors: white, gray, beige, green and blue.
Many of us think that the color of the pool is the cause of the blue tint in the water, but that's not entirely correct. The blue tones correspond to the density of the water. They are also caused by reflections from sunlight and the depth of the pool. Otherwise, why would the sea be blue if the seabed has another color, usually different shades of sand color?
Today we will start by breaking the stubborn myth of the blue color of water, and we will present to you the tones that you can obtain depending on the finish you choose for your pool.
The importance of choosing the color of your swimming pool
White swimming pool
An ideal color to obtain clear blue water in your swimming pool. This color brings a lot of freshness and intensity, a luminous atmosphere and a neat finish. If your garden exudes a rather minimalist, subtle, elegant and refined atmosphere, white is your best option. If you have a lawn or a light stone terrace, this color is also an excellent choice for your swimming pool: it allows you to highlight all the finishes in your garden. In the shade, white gives pale blue reflections to the water, but when the sun shines its rays, this color offers great luminosity, similar to that of a glacier.
Gray swimming pool
One of the most beautiful colors to obtain a perfect quality finish. The all-purpose color. It brings a touch of originality and purity, freshness, and enhances the intensity of the colors. Gray also makes it possible to harmonize all types of atmospheres and aesthetic finishes. This is an ideal color for obtaining bright blue colored water, similar to that obtained with white, but with more substance and a higher density. In sunlight, gray still offers a unique light sky blue. Although the two colors have many similarities, the tone of blue is slightly more intense than white. Gray is the color that goes best with all the elements that make up your pool.
Beige
Allows you to give a touch of blue-green to your swimming pool, which resembles the color of light beach sand. It is an ideal color for stone country houses whose gardens are covered with vegetation in green, yellow and orange tones. A beige-colored swimming pool adapts particularly well to a rural or mountain environment. This tone offers a unique, subtle, inimitable, original and welcoming style.
While giving off an impression of softness and lightness, green gives your swimming pool an original appearance. This color gives the tone of the water a touch that is reminiscent of a river or a small pond. It is an ideal color to highlight both your garden and the water in your swimming pool, giving them a special charm. It is also perfect for stone terraces, in white or gray tones, and even for wooden swimming pool decks. Green goes just as well with modern homes as it does with more rustic ones.

The blue
The classic color of swimming pools gives the water intense shades of blue which match perfectly with the terraces with a stone effect finish in white or gray tones. It is a color that highlights the pool in the bathing area, and is therefore ideal if you want your pool to be the center of attention in your home.
In summary, remember that the color of the swimming pool is not necessarily the same as that of the water in the pool. So:
If you want a light sky blue for your pool, choose the white or gray finish.
If you want a sandy green, opt for the beige finish instead.
If you prefer a deep sky blue, the blue finish is your best option.
If you want a subtle blue-green, choose the green finish.
