Ok, to be completely honest, this is a VERY complex question.
Water as a medium by itself indicates no colour, thus it is completely clear due to hydrogen bondings (neon, fluorine and carbon joined with hydrogen bonds).
Water when contained in a large mass, is also clear in appearance, yet when we observe int he ocean, we depict it as blue. Some might say that the ocean apppears blue due to a scattering and rafraction of light from the sky. But we all know that the sky is in fact not blue at all.
The sky is actually made up of pigments of hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon. When these three are bonded heavely under dispersion and dipole-dipole forces, they create a bluish colour.
So, water is in fact clear in colour.

It has no color it is clear. unless clear is a color. or you could say water is every color. Water takes on the color of what ever it lands on.

It's colorless.
Not to be picky, but clear isn't a color, because a clear sky is blue.

Pure water is colorless- if you get enough air in into it, it can appear cloudy.

It is the color of oxygen and hydrogen molecules. It has no color, so it's basically ...clear.
