How to choose a colour for your swimming pool paint?
With so many pool colours to choose from, selecting the perfect pool colour for your outdoor pool and surround can be daunting. Many clients often sensibly begin by asking to see the most popular pool colours available. However, like most trends, what is popular today may not be popular tomorrow and you should therefore be prepared to live with your choice of colour for the next few years! With this in mind we encourage our customers and their clients to consider a number of important factors when choosing a pool colour.

Look and Feel.
Before you begin to think about pool colour, first consider the look and feel you would like to create in the area in which your pool is, or will be situated. The theme of your pool area will begin to draw you towards a colour palette to work with. The tone of your pool surrounds should be in contrast to your pool colour. If you choose a light pool colour, consider darker pool surrounds. Similarly, if you prefer a dark pool colour, consider lighter pool surrounds.

The Pool Colour.
Depending on the size of your swimming pool, your design may feature your swimming pool as its centre-piece. Like any “show stopper”, this should complement the desired end result whilst adding the ‘wow’ factor to the overall design. Factors to be considered when choosing a pool colour include your general theme, pool surrounds, water reflection and water temperature, to name but a few.

Please note we do not offer a colour consultancy service. If this is something you feel you would benefit from, we recommend talking to a local swimming pool designer or architect.
