The Science Behind Pool Colour
Pool colour has a significant effect on water temperature. Dark colours absorb more heat from the sun, resulting in warmer water temperatures. Light-coloured pools reflect more sunlight, keeping the water cooler. Consider your local climate and weather conditions when deciding on a pool colour.
Psychology of Pool Colour
Here's how pool colour enhances your swimming experience and outdoor space.
Blue Pools
Create a calming atmosphere reminiscent of the ocean.
Grey Pools
Provide a natural and understated look that blends with surrounds.
White Pools
Give a fresh, pristine, modern feel like your favourite luxury hotel.
Pairing Your Pool With Your Backyard
If you’re considering adding a fibreglass pool to your backyard, you’ll likely be doing some extra landscaping. When choosing the pool colour, think about the types of plants that will surround your pool. Blending these tones can create an idyllic space, from white, clean, minimalist designs to darker greens and blues for a tropical oasis vibe.
1: White Fibreglass Pools
White pools are a blank canvas for creativity. There are stunning gel coats that add sparkles of blue and grey, which have become extremely popular. These specks shimmer in the sunlight, giving your pool a beautiful turquoise colour, similar to a Caribbean shoreline.
