Deciding on a pool finish is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when installing a new pool or remodeling an existing one.

The good news is that are many options out there—involving tiles, lights, and water dyes. You can pick and choose items that match your personal style to make the whole place more inviting.

To help you decide, here are our top picks for pool lining colors that enhance aesthetic appeal instantly!

Pro-tip: White plaster is a major eyesore and takes away from the beauty of your backyard.

Classic Blue

You just can’t go wrong with classic blue. It’s timeless, and works well with all types of landscaping, from stone paving to lawns and shrubs.

You could also find a variety of shades such as cyan and azure, which are subtly but transformatively different. For a shimmering look, we recommend choosing electric blue that makes the water sparkle as the sun beats down on it.

Trendy Turquoise

Greenish-blue tones such as turquoise make a pool feel more like a tropical lagoon. Complete the look with gravel flooring and stones for a dramatic effect. You can even opt for a pebbled pool finish that is designed to mimic nature as they closely resemble the look of a picturesque ocean. 

Dramatic Black

Black is an unusual choice for pool lining, but not as uncommon as you’ think. The black color causes the water to lose its transparent property and it becomes reflective, like a mirror. It creates a dark and mysterious feel—perfect for a dramatic, contemporary look.

Bold Red

If you’re sticking to the classic, rectangular pool design, make a statement with some bold red color. Most design artists will tell you to choose statement pieces that stand out against the rest—in this case, the pool can be your statement piece. If red isn’t your color, try something soft but unexpected, like Millennial Pink.

Au Naturel

Natural swimming pools are becoming increasingly popular in the US. With the right landscaping, they blend in perfectly into the surroundings, creating their own little ecosphere. Natural pool tiles are green-tinted or dark grey, and mimic the tones you might find in a pond or river.
