Choosing a pool color is an essential step in creating a beautiful pool surrounded by nature.
The important factors
Water is of course always transparent. Rather, what we perceive as water color depends on a few factors:
- The sunshine: the duration of exposure to sunlight, expressed in hours, makes the water crystal clear.
- The weather pattern: the sky is constantly reflected on your pool’s body of water.
- The depth of the water: it amplifies the dark tones of the water;
Pool with a white background
This is the color most sensitive to changes in the brightness of the sky. It’s ideal in open landscapes with intense and prolonged daily sunshine. It gives the effect of transparent and crystal clear water. This emphasizes the continuity between the pool and the sky, expanding the horizon, emphasizing spaces and the perception of their vastness.
Pool with black bottom
A black swimming pool is trendy and very elegant. It’s perfect in mountain and lake settings because perfectly recalls the deep waters of the sea. It broadens the perception of depth and, as in the case of gray-bottomed pools, thanks to solar radiation, ensures energy savings with the natural rise in water temperature.
Choosing a pool color is not always an easy choice, but these pointers should help you in making the best choice for your location.
