Sorry jrins4 just came back and saw this, hope it is not too late! Here is a close up of the first step of the spa, so it is just a little below the surface of the water. The mottling is more visible here becasue it is close to the surface. Most of what I actually observe is from underwater while I am swimming laps. I would say by and large most of the mottling is not visible from the surface, or by a casual observer, but I do notice things, and even for me it doesn't bother me, but it is something that I do see. I saw steel grey but not Egyptian Sands. The grey pools I saw were too blah for me, kind of a dull, dead look. I like Grigio becasue it was more alive, but not a bright windex blue. It looks realistic to me of what a pool should look like, and not fake.
