Is it a bluish transparency or a light green color? Or white? Could it be colorless? What is the actual color of the water?

In fact, what we're all taught at school is that water is a colorless and transparent liquid. But we have a surprise for you: That's not true!
If you shine a substance so that it is exposed to white light and is a liquid, the color changes to a pale bluish tone, not white.

This is because light, especially the longest wavelength of red, is absorbed by water. That is not reflected. As a matter of fact, only blue tones remain.

Since we determine the colors according to how the material reflects the white light, starting from the absence of such a color in the lightless environment; the color of water is blue. Just as an apple is red, the water is light blue.
