The Right Pool Colour

A pool’s colour can shift the whole feel of your backyard in one go, from bright and beachy to deep and resort-like. Mad Pool Interiors & Renovations helps Sunshine Coast homeowners, builders and commercial clients choose the right finishes and colours based on how the pool will look in real light, at different depths and from the main viewing areas of the home.


Lighter tones can look crisp and fresh, while mid to darker blends often create richer water colour and can be more forgiving between cleans. Surrounding pavers, fencing and landscaping also play a part, so the finish looks like it belongs, not like an add-on.

Design your perfect pool finish

Do you need help picking pebblecrete colours, waterline and coping tiles?

Browse the most popular options from our suppliers. Pick a background similar to your view and watercolour assumptions to match your selected pebblecrete.

Match the pebblecrete colour to the watercolour guide with the same colour name.

* Assumed watercolour is to be used as a guide only. Water colour is influenced by many factors including but not limited to surround tiles, trees, sky etc. We cannot guarantee that the water colour of your pool will be the exact same due to these factors.

Comfort & Upkeep

Picking a finish is as much about comfort and upkeep as it is about colour. Pebble is a classic for durability and grip, glass bead delivers standout sparkle and depth and exotic blends balance texture with a designer shimmer.


It also pays to think about the waterline area and lighting, because tiles and lights can change how your chosen colour reads, especially at night. With the right match of finish type and tone, your pool can look sharper, feel better underfoot and stay easier to enjoy through the seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What pool colour makes water look blue?

    Water colour depends on the interior colour, depth, sunlight and nearby reflections. Pale blues, soft whites and light greys usually give a brighter “classic blue” look, especially in the shallow end. Deeper water reads darker. Shade, green landscaping and dark fencing can push the colour toward teal or green.

  • How do I choose pool finishes and colours that won’t look dirty?

    Very light finishes can show fine dust and stains sooner, while very dark colours can highlight scale lines and lighter debris. Mid-tone greys and speckled blends often hide everyday marks best. Good filtration, regular brushing and balanced water chemistry matter just as much as colour for keeping a pool looking clean.

  • Do pool finishes and colours look different in the sun and at night?

    Yes. Direct sun makes water look lighter and can boost sparkle in glass bead and blended finishes. Shade makes colours read deeper and can pick up green reflections from plants. At night, the type and placement of pool lights can shift the look warmer or cooler and change how bright the finish appears.
