Color of water The color of a water sample is caused by both dissolved and particulate material in water, and is measured in Hazen Units (HU). Either of these components can be deeply colored, for instance dissolved organic molecules called tannins can result in dark brown colors, or algae floating in the water ("particles") can impart a green color. But in a lot of cases water is a clear to neutral color due to a lack of pigments in the water. (e.g. the sea) The color of a water sample can be reported as:- Apparent color True color Apparent color is the color of the whole water sample, and consists of color due to both dissolved and suspended components. True color is measured by filtering the water sample to remove all suspended material, and measuring the color of the filtered water, which represents color due to dissolved components. Testing for color can be a quick and easy test which often reflects the amount of organic material in the water (although certain inorganic components like iron or manganese can also impart color).

There is no colour to water.. because Water is Clear.. If the water is in the ocean.. where it's mostly SALT water.. then depending on the kind of salt, the colour can change.. or if its water in the amazon.. depending on how much dirt from the the riverbed (the bottom of the river..) you can get colours tints and shades of brown.. in some places the water is this nice blue colour.. its probably just more particles floating around (i still think its from the salt crystals..) the green colour comes from algae.. The red colour comes from a type of plankton?.. the bottom of the ocean is VERY deep.. so it makes the water look black.. or deep navy.. but thats only because the water is clear.. and the bottom of the ocean is VERY deep.. lol..

water should be transparent if it is purified.

Water comes in all sorts of colors.

No, its a common misconception that water is clear. Sea, lake, river water etc as said could be many colours but this is due to external factors e.g mud, algae etc etc. Pure water is actually blue, a very light shade of turquoise blue to be exact, according to waters frequency spectra, larger volumes of pure water will actually exibit deeper shades of blue.

Colourless. Ocean water is blue because it reflects the sky. Lake water is green because it has algea in it. Without anythine in it, water is transparent.

Water is transparent. It has no colour. Colour appears depending on the sky, the ground under the water, and the foggyness of the water.

contrary to popular belief, water is actually light blue!
-
Pure water has no colour ... water in nature is coloured by the various things in and around the water ...

Your spelling of color indicates that you're from the UK where the pipes are thousands of years old. So it's no wonder that you think water has a color.

Water is transparent. Water gets the color from its surroundings, its bottom, and the sky. If you don't believe me, pour some water on a glass (where it can't take any color from its surroundings) and observe what you see.
