Hey Drexel and Welcome !!!!
I'm not finding any in the archives. While we wait for other to chime in, don't get too hung up on the choices once you're in the right ballpark for your preferred choice. You can get 4 shades by simply taking pics from each side. Over the course of the day and the season it will swing 100 shades which can literally be night and day. I could bore you to tears with pics, but here's just a sample of similar occurances and a fraction of the swing.

I had these two liners and they shared many of the variations while being quite different. Much time was wasted agonizing over the decision both times to see the same thing in the end. But of course each time I loved what I saw because we chose so well.

I have blue surf so I can't help with your question. However, if I had to do it again I would have gone darker for the simple fact that it fades over time. Eventually you'll end up with a lighter color. Darker colors do require an experienced installer though since they tend to show more mottling.

If possible, see if your PB can coordinate seeing a few pools in person. This is a good solution if you're trying to choose among a few different colors.
Thank you everyone for your comments. It’s just really tough to pick a color but I get what you are saying about the variations. The other challenge I am having is picking between pebble tec and pebble sheen. The PB is charging the same for either one but we liked the feeling of the pebble tec. Reading some of the reviews the roughness of the pebble Tec is worrying.
We have had PebbleTec for 20+ years and while it can be rough on soft feet that have been in the pool a while, it's not bad. We would go PebbleSheen if we did it again to get a smoother finish.
