Default Making swimming pools look "natural"
I've experimented with swimmable ponds, with varying degrees of success. But, does anyone know of a wall paint (or wallpaper/mural) that could be applied to an actual swimming pool wall that, when viewed through the blue pool water, would look more like a naturally occurring swimmin' hole? I guess something suitable for the floor would be good, too, although that seems to be easier to color nicely, for some reason. I know there are animated fish, and I can plant cattails and whatnot around the edge and cover the water with lily pads, etc. But there's just something about that water color. I'm assuming there's probably a way to change the color of the water itself, (without using overlays) but I can't recall seeing one specifically. Don't get me wrong - I love the overlays, for some situations. I just have a hard time getting them to meet correctly without overlapping or leaving gaps, for larger pools... a nice wall/floor combo would be a much simpler, more elegant solution, I feel.

Looks promising; you can never really tell, though, with pools, how it's going to look underneath the blue water. I'll give it a shot; thanks!

Maybe colored pool lights in addition to walls and floors? I've made some, they come in the colors of the NL neons. If you combine colors they do merge, like red and blue do give off purple.

I think seasons added some dirt/grass floors right? Some other more mm styles of flooring.
