4 The Color of Water You Want is Possible in Your Swimming Pool with Serapool Transparent raindrops, deep blue seas, turquoise oceans or green lakes... Although they are all made of water, their colors are quite different from each other. This is because the color of water is affected by the interaction of water molecules with light, as well as other substances dissolved or suspended in water. The color of seawater depends on how water molecules absorb and reflect light. All colors are present in sunlight, which we call white light. Sea water molecules, just like in the atmosphere, absorb the red colors in the distribution of this light and reflect the blue colors. In other words, it retains high-frequency wavelengths and sends back low-frequency wavelengths. Since the blue color also has a shorter wavelength, the sea usually takes on a blue appearance. This is how Professor Rayleigh, winner of the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physics, explains why water always tends to appear blue. The most important reason for the blue color of the water is the depth of the sea layer. Incoming light frequencies give color according to the depth. As the depth of the water increases, the blue color becomes more pronounced. At shallow depths below 50 cm, we see more transparent water color. That being the case, people who are going to have a pool built expect their swimming pools to have an appearance similar to sea water. THE COLOR OF WATER...
