Pebble sheen is the finish on the surface of a pool gunite is the cement that a pool is constructed from in other words you can finish a gunite pool with pebble sheen.
It is not necessarily better, just different. The pebble finish can come in mini pebble and regular pebble. The mini pebble is pretty close to the quartz aggregate finish(diamond brite) as far as texture, feeling. The regular is much rougher on your feet( kids and sensitive soles can vouch for that). As a contractor I hear this question all the time , and the answer is: if you use your pool frequently, go with quartz aggregate, if you care about the way your pool looks, then go with pebble. Pebble will be around 30% more than quartz aggregate. It is really a matter of preference. Premium Pool and Pavers, Odessa , Florida 727 271 5975.
Plaster is usually applied onto Plasterboard to give it a smooth finish which can then be painted. There are other techniques, taping & jointing is one, though Plaster gives a better finish.
The purpose of using a primer for plaster before painting or applying a finish is to create a smooth and uniform surface for better adhesion of the paint or finish, as well as to seal and protect the plaster from absorbing too much of the paint or finish.
Spray plaster offers quick and efficient application, smooth finish, and better coverage compared to traditional methods. It also dries faster and can be easily sanded for a seamless repair on walls and ceilings.
It's all in the application... Pebble Technology trains and certifies applicators, and no other pool finish does that on a nationwide basis.

The finish plaster is normally white all the way through. It sounds like you are dealing with a pool that has been replastered by the method of putting a "brown coat"/"scratch coat" (the gray plaster you noted) over the original finish plaster surface, and a new finish coat of white plaster on top of that. The scratch coat more like a thin concrete than plaster (doesn't have the white marble dust in it) and is used to get a better bond to the old surface.
The purpose of applying a scratch coat plaster in the process of plastering a wall is to create a rough surface that helps the next layer of plaster adhere better. This base coat also helps to level out any imperfections in the wall and provides a strong foundation for the final finish coat of plaster.
To paint plaster effectively for a smooth and professional finish, follow these steps: Clean the surface of the plaster to remove any dust or debris. Apply a primer specifically designed for plaster surfaces to help the paint adhere better. Use a high-quality paintbrush or roller to apply the paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. Sand the surface lightly between coats to smooth out any imperfections. Finish with a top coat of paint for a polished and professional look.
