Why is the ocean blue?

There are several theories:

1. Blue wavelengths are absorbed the least by the deep ocean water and are scattered and reflected back to the observer’s eye
2. Particles in the water may help to reflect blue light
3. The ocean reflects the blue sky

Most of the time the ocean appears to be blue because this is the colour our eyes see. But the ocean can be many other colours depending upon particles in the water, the depth of the water, and the amount of skylight.

The colours we see depend upon the reflection of the visible wavelengths of light to our eyes.

Besides being pretty to look at, colours and the light they come from really do have the power to impact people in many ways. Along with the aesthetics of light and colour, there is real science behind each and every sight we see.

Each flash or ray of light, each shade of colour that light makes visible, and each time our eyes receive the messages to see them, we are reminded of a special relationship — one that is often overlooked because we simply take seeing for granted. We miraculously experience a bright, vivid world because of the workings of our eyes, the wonders of light, and the brilliance of colour.

The Franklin Institute provides a good explanation of how we see colour.
