Pebble Tec vs Finest Finishes Pools (+ color advice)

[LifeInTheDesert]

Hi everyone,

We finally have a pool builder and are in the process of deciding on the pool's interior. We can choose finishes from Pebble Tec and Finest Finishes Pools. Since we want a smoother feel, we are looking at the Pebble Fina line from Pebble Tec and the Radiant Fusion line from FFP. Does anyone here have experience with either of these finishes? I would love to see your photos (any color). I've looked through the Pool Color thread but these are not really represented.

For Pebble Tec: we are leaning towards Classico or Fresca Verde
For FFP: Radiant Pearl is in the running.

I've attached a photo of the color we'd like to achieve. Unfortunately, this is from NPT and is not an option with our pool builder.

We live in Arizona, where we have blue skies most of the year. Our house is white stucco, and we'll have a white stucco wall surrounding the pool, which I'm guessing will also affect the look of the pool. The pool depth will range between 4' and 5.5' with a baja shelf and spa. Any advice? Please share your photos if you have them!

Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Hi Maddie,

Thanks for responding. I've already gone through the Pool photos thread and didn't find what I'm looking for.

The sample is actually closer in color to your picture than what is shown, if needed I can take a photo of the plaster sample in a water depth of around 7”, just not tonight.

Now here’s a few other colors and their names, hope this helps but sometimes more choices make it harder to decide. Your choice is in the middle.
