hi, what color did you end up going with? I'm looking at aqua blue, tropics blue or fresh gray as well. I don't want anything too dark but want something more unique then just plain white

I gave you some feedback on one of your other posts about Stonescapes mini pebble. I know this wasn't one of the colors you asked about, but this is Stonescapes Tahoe Blue:

Thank you all!!! My e-mail is sheri at shweri dot com. Would love any photos. Very appreciative! Is ocean blue darker than midnight blue? I thought they were same. Or do smaller pebbles end up changing color? And thus, is Turtle Bay, which folks here love, loved more than Emerald Bay? Funny, I saw a photo of one, but not labeled. I said, whatever this color is, that's the one I'm going to get. Pebbletec let me know it was Black Pearl. I do love the black ones, but nervous they will be too pondy in some lights. Or affect resale down the road. But they are gorgeous. You all have me sold on abalone! That's one decision down! Ah, that may be why Turtle Bay is seeming loved over Emerald Bay! Turtle Bay has enough I don't need to add any, right? Thank you again. You guys have been more help than PebbleTec, builder, and PT installer! And thanks natural_one for the offer of photos! sheri

Hi andtrevmommy! I really love our Mauve stonescapes mini. I agonized over that decision (along with many others, but probably most about that one selection) and it's the only decision I have not had any regrets about. We looked at several pools our PB had done with stonescapes including midnight blue, tahoe blue, caribbean blue and the mauve. I was originally leaning towards midnight blue, but when I saw one in person I didn't like the way the stones looked, the blue/red pebbles reminded me of fish tank gravel and my husband felt it produced a bit too dark of a water color for his taste (I still LOVE midnight blue stonescape pools though), tahoe blue then came close to being it but I kept having doubts, the pools we saw with tahoe blue were a little less deep in color and ever so slightly twinged with green. The mauve is kinda crazy, check out my original thread, the plaster process was insane, BARNEY EXPLODED in my pool, but the water color is interesting, different, very pretty in my opinion and many of our visitors have commented on the gorgeous water color. We love it. I will warn you, I'm not a fan of seeing the mauve stonescapes close up at the top of the water, it's pinkish to me on steps, that is why we did the flagstone beach entry and why we placed the steps and bench where we did. Just my 2 cents. I LOVE the mauve! Would do it again in a heartbeat! I'm not in love with the water color after dark with the lights on, it's boring and greenish....I wish we had done the led (?) lights to spice up the color after dark. :)
