The Bible say's that before the great flood in Noah's time, there was a layer of water in the sky.
So my question is that if there was a layer of water in the sky, what would the colour of the sky be and how do you imagine it would look?
Genesis 1:6-7
And God went on to say: “Let an expanse come to be in between the waters and let a dividing occur between the waters and the waters.” 7 Then God proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse and the waters that should be above the expanse. And it came to be so.

The sky is blue because the lue end of the light spectrum comes out as sunlight is refracted in the earth's atmosphere.
So i'll go for blue again.

6 Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” 7 And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. 8 God called the space “sky.”
(don't know what version you have but my brain shortcircuited! here is NLT)
I'm guessing it would still be blue... or aqua... tho, with God, the sky can be a multitude of colors.. like the sunsets taht have yellows to blues to oranges and fire reds to purples.... only God can paint a sky like that!

It depends on how deep the layer of water is. I'm assuming that in order to flood the world it would be a goof sized quantity, in which case it would most likely be black, as water reflects a lot of light and what it doesn't gets absorbed. This is why the ocean is so dark.
The story is BS anyway. How on earth was the water held in place? The only explanation is that it was in orbit around the earth, but in that atmosphere it would be ice.

I think that the authors mistakenly believed that the sky was blue because it was water. If it had been a layer of water akin to the ocean, no light would have penetrated and there would have been no life. If the water layer was thin enough to have light penetate it, there still would not have been enough radiation and heat to have sustained land-dwelling life that is not endothermic (only mammals would have survived). The sky would have been blueish though.

Carl Baugh says pink. It's been years since I've seen his videos so I don't remember why he thought that. I think it had something to do with a gaseous metal?? Sounds odd, I know, but like I said it's been years since I heard his explanation.
If it was pinkish that might explain why our eyes do better with magenta sun glasses.

I don't see what the Bible has to do with the color of the sky...

I don't know, but it doesn't really matter...I'd say put it on your list of questions to ask God when we get to Heaven.

*Sigh* Please, think for yourself. Step away from the silly book.
