Hello, we had a new build recently completed and the plaster is Aqua Cool mini pebble with touch of glass. However, this is the color of the plaster. I have not seen any pictures of the plaster being this color. Anyone else experience this with aqua cool mini pebble? Will this eventually change or is this it? Pill was plastered in November.

Was the pool filled after it was plastered?
Do you know which startup guide was used?

Normally, if it changes, it changes in the first few weeks.

This one also had a bit more brown...but never came back with an update.

That is it. It will not change color.

Have you discussed this with your builder or the plaster installer to confirm they installed the correct color? We have seen where the wrong color was put on pools.

Sand a small area with 80/100 grit wet/dry sandpaper and see if it uncovers a different color. Maybe the plaster was stained due to metals in the water.

We have well water so had water brought in the day after it was plastered. Not sure what kind of start up guide they used if any. All I know is we brushed twice a day for a month and the PB maintained it for that first month as well. I just thought the plaster was supposed to be white and haven’t found any pictures online showing it as this color.
 
Your picture shows Aqua cool in what looks like a shallow part of your pool. Aqua cool will show a much lighter color in shallow depth … actually only a hint of blue and mostly an off white. In your deeper depths, the light blue color should show up more, though again, Aqua Cool is quite light compared to other colors in that area of the spectrum.

At the time my pool guy was helping me choose colors, he made sure I was aware that certain colors -including Aqua Cool and another I was interested in, Tahoe blue - would disappoint given my average pool depth being ~6 feet. In the brochure I kept, it shows Aqua Cool in varying shades/degrees of the color, with the pic of the shallowest of the 4 pool depth colors looking very similar to the color shown in your post.
