Does Swimming Pool Depth perception change with the colour of tile used?

Lost Angel asked:


For example, assume you use light blue tiles as the floor and walls of your swimming pool. Does the swimming pool appear more shallow than if you had used darker-blue tiles instead? If yes, what is the explanation for this phenomenon.

    I don’t know about the coloured tiles.Most of the big swimming pools I’ve seen have white tiles, with blue tiles marking lanes.There is a colour perception in that colours appear nearer to surface, due to light refraction.

    No effect of colour
