You can also consider a variety of other colors to create a different look and feel. To give your pool a unique look, consider white or black, off-white or gray. A black pool may symbolize elegance, but some may find it an unappealing color. White, while an option, is rarely used because it will reflect any heat of the sun and is also a very glaring color.
Consider sand yellow or a medium beige or even greens and blue greens. Green is a color that symbolizes nature, harmony and health and is a color that appeals to many individuals. It is also a color well-suited for individuals who want their swimming pool to appear to blend seamlessly into the landscape of the backyard and nature itself.
Whether you choose to add glass tiles or an alternative color, the decision is yours. You may decide to have your pool compliment or contrast with the color of your home, blend with the surroundings or make a statement.
