Exclusive to Compass Pools
Bi-Luminite™ Pool Colour Technology
A fibreglass pool colour system pioneered by Compass. Stunning depth, 3D luminosity and a finish that stays brilliant for decades, in 9 exclusive colours.
The Way Your Pool Looks Makes a Big Difference
The surface of a Bi-Luminite pool can only be described as brilliantly luminous. Behind that three-dimensional lustre is the same scientific approach Compass takes to every part of pool construction.
Before Bi-Luminite, most fibreglass pools came in plain finishes. Some had flecks, others tried to look like marble. Compass changed the look of fibreglass pools by setting large, handmade reflective chips into the resin and using two colour layers, not one.
How your pool looks affects your enjoyment as much as how it works, and the Bi-Luminite process also helps keep it looking new for longer.

About HydroProFrequently Asked Questions About Pool Colours
What to know before you choose your Bi-Luminite colour.
What is Bi-Luminite pool colour technology?
Bi-Luminite is a colour system exclusive to Compass Pools. It uses two colour layers and large reflective chips suspended in a tinted gelcoat to create a luminous, three-dimensional finish. Unlike single-layer pool colours, Bi-Luminite has real depth that changes with the light and the water.
How many Bi-Luminite colours are available?
There are 9 Bi-Luminite colours: Quartz, Viridian, Evolution, Sapphire, Atlantic, Pearl, Pacific, Vercoe and Pink Quartz. The most popular are Quartz, Evolution, Pacific and Sapphire. The Vivid range adds 5 single-layer options.
What warranty comes with a Bi-Luminite pool?
Every Bi-Luminite pool comes with a 10-year cosmetic warranty and a lifetime structural warranty*. It is also manufactured with ArmourShield, an extra vinyl ester resin layer that protects the colour from pool chemicals and UV. Vivid pools have different warranty terms.
What is the difference between Bi-Luminite and Vivid?
Bi-Luminite uses two colour layers for a 3D luminous finish, with a 10-year cosmetic warranty and a lifetime structural warranty*. Vivid is a single-layer colour system at a more affordable price that still performs above industry standard, with a 7-year cosmetic warranty and a 25-year structural warranty.
Which pool colour is most popular?
The most popular Bi-Luminite colours in recent years are Quartz, Evolution, Pacific and Sapphire. Quartz is a timeless warm grey-white, Evolution a deep charcoal blue-grey, Pacific a clear tropical aqua and Sapphire a vivid ocean blue.
Does pool colour affect water temperature?
Darker colours such as Atlantic and Viridian absorb more heat and can help warm the water naturally in cooler climates. Lighter colours such as Quartz and Pearl reflect more light. Your local dealer can advise on the best colour for your climate and taste.
How long does a Bi-Luminite pool colour last?
We developed Bi-Luminite knowing a pool goes into the ground for a lifetime. Anything that sits in the sun and in treated water for decades will change over time; the aim is to make that change so subtle it is hard to notice. You can expect a Bi-Luminite pool to keep looking stunning for decades.
