Water is blue?
You didn't know that?
Isn’t that from the sunlight and absorbing other colours?
When it’s in a glass it’s clear.
It does have an inherent blueness to it
That’s an interesting read. Thanks.
That's an optical illusion. That's like saying the sky isn't blue just because you can see into the sky.
The sky isn’t blue. It’s the angle of the sun and the blue wavelength of light making it to our eyes.
At a different angle the sky is quite red or orange.
Turns out the color of everything has to do with different angles at which light travels through it.
Apples are red because the other wavelengths get bent into the 6th dimension and become electronic energy.
