The answer is Light Blue..
Yes, according to its frequency spectra, water is a very light shade of turquoise blue. But you need a huge amount of it to really see its color. It’s like a teaspoon of oil, it looks transparent on a white spoon, but in the bottle looks yellowish.

Water has an intrinsic color, and this color has a unique origin. This intrinsic color is easy to see, as can been seen in the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas and in Colorado mountain lakes. Pure water and ice have a pale blue color
Color in water may result from the presence of natural metallic ions such as iron and manganese, humus and peat materials, plankton, weeds and industrial wastes. Color is removed to make water suitable for general applications. Colored industrial wastewaters may require color removal before discharge into the waste water system. True color of water is the color from which turbidity has been removed. The term apparent color includes not only color due to substances in solution, but also that due to suspended matter. Apparent color is determined on the original sample without filtration or centrifugation

Depends who you ask and if you want the true or apparent colour.
Some say pure water is colourless others say very light blue.
Impure water can be a variety of colours - blue, green, brown...
Sea water has salt and other things added to it, rivers have dirt and algae, which can all change its colour. Also, light and the water depth itself can alter its appearance.

You can do a little experiment to find out on your own. Fill a glass with water and observe the color for yourself.
