Fiberglass Pools - It's OK to be Blue

Since the inception of colored fiberglass pools in the mid-2000's the move to darker shades of blue has grown exponentially.

For years concrete and fiberglass pools were rather one-dimensional, only offering one shade of Blue for its surface. Like with most things, technological advancements have allowed for the evolution of color options. While there are more options, deeper shades of blue tend to be the choice of the masses.
It would make sense that Blue is the predominant color choice for pool surfaces. Blue often instills a sense of peace, tranquility, calmness, and serenity. Pool owners who initially installed a pool to foster a summer of fun, family, and neighborhood entertaining quickly found out that their pool is a stress reducer and a health promoter. It also lowers aggression as well as high blood pressure and heart rates. Blue hues are inviting and have proven to make a difference when it comes to water temperature. How much it changes the temp isn’t precise, but it attracts more heat than other colors. There are a variety of blue shades to choose from. Each one offers a different feel and personality to your outdoor space. If you want a lighter tone of blue, it’s best to have the pool surroundings on the darker side. Dark wood decking is a great contrast. The lighter Blue will also draw your sight to the bottom of the pool, where you may notice settled debris. If you choose to go with a darker blue, you'll get more of a mirror effect. With lighter surrounding shades for pool decking and other accessories, you'll create a very aesthetically appealing atmosphere.
For your fiberglass pool, resisting the temptation to go blue is un-necessary. Give in to the temptation and know you’ll enjoy added benefits to your health and overall wellness.
