But I can understand where your coming from, as the water actually DOES appear to be blue, as all colors truly do. Like Walking Void said, color itself is illusion.
I did NOT say colour is an illusion.
Quote:Colour belongs to the wave of light. Without light there is no colour. Water has no property of colour, in fact nothing has a property of colour. Every material only looks differently colour-wise because of how they interact with light waves. As such, water like air will scatter blue light, fortifying our eye sensory to read mainly blue visuals.
I said that.
Colour is just visual information that only our brain reads. Other animals can do the same but with varying perceptions of the same colour.
