water isnt actually blue, its just reflecting blue light

Ummm I am not dumb I can see that water is blue next you will say the sky is not blue to, its literally made of blue
>>

The sky is not blue, its simply scattering blue light

water is blue . its a very weak blue so you only see it in large bodies of water.

well it depends how you define a thing's color .
if its the light it dosnt absorb then yea the atmosphere is transparent but scatters the light so at ground level we see it blue\red (at sunset) .

as for water it is actually blue ,the color it dosnt absorb is very faintly blue so with enough water you can see its blue . on the surface it also reflects the sky .
ocean\sea water actually varies between light blue and green depending on the depth\composition of dissolved materials .

Neutrons are blue, protons and electrons are greenish and since water has a higher amount of neutrons to protons and electrons, it's bluer.

the water reflects the blue sky, and the sky is blue because it reflects the water. You can even tell when you're in a very dry area that the sky looks "whiter".
Anyway this phenomenon makes a sort of "loop". But since the reflections weaken at every loop, you reach a limit of "blueness" that is given by the characteristics of salty water and the characteristics of the air.
