Oceans, like lakes, reflect the color of the sky above them, so their colors vary with the cloud cover. Ocean water is not pure, and absorbs some of the light hitting it, leaving light mostly at the blue end of the spectrum to reflect back to the viewer. If the ocean is shallow, the color of the ocean bottom will have an effect on the color of water you see. Also, material in the water, live or dead, will affect the color. The angle at which you view the ocean surface will also be a factor. But mostly, the oceans are some shade of blue, ranging from dark greyish blue to light turquoise.

No, that's not true:
The ocean often looks blue because sunlight shines on tiny particles suspended in the water. Along the shores of some areas, however, the water looks green because the blue water is mixed with yellow pigments present in floating plants.
Some oceans exhibit other colors:
The Black Sea looks black because it has little oxygen and a high concentration of hydrogen sulfide.
The Red Sea looks red because it contains seasonal blooms of algae that color the surface water red.
The Yellow Sea looks yellow because it contains a yellow mud carried into it by adjoining rivers.

I'm sorry to say that is a false belief. The ocean is transparent. It reflects the color of the sky above it. That is why you will see pictures of Caribbean islands with turquoise water and off the WA coast we often see water stormy, grey color because that's what the sky is doing.
