What Color is Water?
depends on the light
or the surface holding it
if u dip a clear bottle into what appears to be blue ocean, it will look clear in the bottle. If you shine pink light into it, the water is now pink. or if you pour it into a green glass. The water is now green. Water is all colors and no colors at the same time
Water, when it’s not water-colored, which is usually, is very very light burgundy and you may ask why is that. Well, as we know the perception of color on the retina is done by cones. These cones in order to live are fed by the bloodstream whose color tone the light picks up before traveling the neuronal pathways to be interpreted by the brain. And as everyone knows blood is burgundy- colored. Qed. This phenomenon has led to the common expression “seeing red”!
The water is in fact not colorless; even pure water is not colorless, but has a slight blue tint to it, best seen when looking through a long column of water. The blueness in water is not caused by the scattering of light, which is responsible for the sky being blue.
