The Intex Rainbow Ombre Pool takes the familiar round family pool and wraps it in colour. Instead of plain blue, the three rings carry a soft tie-dye rainbow that melts from pink into purple, blue, green and yellow with no hard lines. It is easily the most photogenic pool in the range and a natural pick for rainbow-themed birthdays and garden photos.

The ombre effect means the colours blend rather than sit in stripes, so the pool looks bright whether it is fully inflated on show or half-filled with children in it. The plain, light-coloured floor sits under the water and lets the rainbow rings do all the talking.

Colour aside, this is a capable full-size round pool. It measures 66 x 15 inches inflated, which is 1.68 m x 38 cm, or about 5.5 x 1.25 ft, giving a few children space to sit and splash together rather than taking turns.

The build is the standard Intex round design: three rings in 9-gauge vinyl over a 7-gauge floor, with a repair patch included for the small nicks a season of use brings. Filled to the 11.5 inch guide it holds about 154 gallons, equal to 581 litres of water.

It is a seasonal pool that needs a flat, clear surface and a separate pump to inflate. The Intex Rainbow Ombre Pool price in Pakistan is Rs. 6,900, reduced from Rs. 8,000, for parents who want the same roomy round pool as the plain models but with far more colour.
