White and light blue
They give the bright turquoise everyone links with the Cyclades. The pool looks shallower and cleaner, and every leaf on the floor shows at once, which helps with upkeep.
Sand
The water turns a green-blue, like a sandy beach. It suits stone houses, timber and natural gardens, and it hides dust a little better.
Grey and charcoal
The water becomes deep blue or lake green, depending on the light. With an overflow edge it gives a strong mirror effect. Dark liners absorb more sun, so the water warms a little faster.
Patterns: mosaic, stone, marble
Beyond plain colours, the Matrix, Stoneflex, Snapir and other ranges have printed mosaic or stone patterns. Close up they look like tiling; from a distance they give the water depth.
How we choose
Samples in hand, in the light of your own garden, next to the coping and paving you will have. Put a sample in a bowl of water for an idea of the result. Photos on a screen always mislead a little.
