The science behind Compass pool colours
Why Compass fibreglass pool colours look different — and last longer — than standard pool finishes.
Dual-Layer 3D Depth
Bi-Luminite places a solid colour layer behind a tinted gel coat. Light passes through both layers, creating a three-dimensional shimmer that flat, single-layer pool colours can’t replicate.
ArmourShield Protection
An extra layer of vinyl ester resin protects the colour from UV exposure and long-term immersion — keeping your pool looking vivid for longer, and enabling the 10-year Bi-Luminite cosmetic warranty.
Large Colour Chips
Both ranges use large reflective colour chips that catch and reflect light, making the water colour richer and more dynamic as the light changes through the day.
Pool colour questions — answered
What’s the difference between Bi-Luminite and Vivid colours?
Bi-Luminite uses a dual-layer colour system that creates a three-dimensional shimmer, carrying a 10-year cosmetic and lifetime structural warranty. Vivid is a single gel-coat range with large colour chips for vibrant, bold colour, carrying a 7-year cosmetic and 25-year structural warranty. Both are stunning and both are exclusive to Compass.
How many pool colours are available?
There are 14 exclusive Compass colours — 9 Bi-Luminite (Atlantic, Evolution, Pacific, Pearl, Pink Quartz, Quartz, Sapphire, Vercoe and Viridian) plus 5 Vivid (Arctic Marine, Grey Marble, Ice Blue, Royal Blue and Ivory Shimmer).
Does the pool colour change the colour of the water?
Yes — the pool shell colour is what gives the water its colour. A darker shell like Sapphire or Royal Blue creates deep blue water; lighter shells like Quartz or Pearl create bright, light-blue water. The colour also shifts with the light, the sky and your surroundings through the day.
What are the most popular pool colours?
In and around Newcastle, the most popular Bi-Luminite colours are Quartz (warm white), Evolution (charcoal grey), Pacific (aqua-blue) and Sapphire (deep blue). We’ll help you choose the right one for your home and landscaping at your showroom visit or site inspection.
Can I see the pool colours in person?
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Our Tomago showroom has real Compass colour samples so you can see the true 3D effect in natural light. Drop in during opening hours, no appointment needed.
Is the pool colour covered by warranty?
Yes. Bi-Luminite colours carry a 10-year cosmetic warranty — above the industry standard — thanks to the ArmourShield resin layer. Vivid colours carry a 7-year cosmetic warranty. Both are backed by Compass Pools Australia.
Colours are a guide only. The way a colour reads depends on depth, light and your surrounds — no screen fully captures the 3D Bi-Luminite effect. The best way to choose is to see the real thing in person at our Tomago showroom.
