Water is a colourless or rather, a pale blue liquid.
Large water bodies like the oceans and seas get their distinct hues from reflecting the sky.
Algae, plankton, plants and sediments in water among other things, give different water bodies other distinguishing hues such as yellow, green and even red.
Four seas of the world are named after colours - the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the White Sea and the Yellow Sea. The name of the Black Sea refers to the North direction than the actual colours of its water!
To check out all possible shades of the sea, head over to CITCLOPS or Citizens’ Observatory for Coast and Ocean Optical Monitoring who offer an interesting colour wheel to check out different shades of sea water on their website.
