Can you take the photos against the coping?
Reminds me of Portugal and Spain..all so pretty!I am remodeling and resurfacing my pool. I have been planning to do this for well over a year. With Covid keeping us home, I decided to take the plunge (no pun intended) and make an investment in a smoother, more beautiful pool.
After a lot of going back and forth, I have decided that we will resurface the bottom of the pool with Aquabright in the Blue Lagoon color.

This product is smooth like orange peel, which is important to me because one motivator for resurfacing is that the current rough plaster tears my bathing suit. Also this product lasts longer than plaster and does not require the same complicated chemical balance that plaster needs. Our pool’s plaster bottom was ruined because the last owner did the chemicals herself and she did not do it right. Finally I like that this product has a more even application and is more stain resistant than plaster. Our current pool is discolored and the bottom looks dirty all the time. We also considered installing a white fiberglass pool bottom but decided to go with a color instead.
Now I am deciding on tiles and this is where I could use some TUGGER input. Any input on the tile designs?
Here is one tile design that I like. It is a stone-like tile and the colors seem to match the new blue pool bottom as well as the rust-colored coping around the pool. Our house is Mediterranean in style and has a lot of stone and a red brick roof. We would install 1 deco tile for every 3 solid tiles as shown in the photo.

Here is a shot of the back of our house and the pool in its current condition (discolored teal plaster bottom - it still looks good from a distance).

This photo has a bit clearer images of the tile but we are only installing one row at the waterline as shown in the previous photo.

Here are some other tile ideas I am contemplating, although I think I like the one above because of how it blends with the color scheme and design of my house and pool. These tiles tend to look rather busy when seen all in a row so I might want to find a complementary solid tile for a 3:1 ratio like above. The tile company I have been selecting from is https://www.nptpool.com/tile/. They have many options and there are other tiles I really liked but then when I see them in the virtual app, sometimes they do not look as good as when just looking at the single tile.

Against your coping I prefer the teal ones. Surprising since I strongly preferred the dark blue before. I don't think that you can go wrong with either one.Here are some more photos in morning sun and shade.

Well, that's one way to think about it but I don't see that at all. (And we know algae, lol. We had problems with it pre-pool guy. It doesn't look like algae).A few friends on Facebook said the teal tile looks like green algae.
