Water reflectes only blue colour and absorbs all the other colours in white light; but in any other light it which do not have blue colours there it absorbs all of them. water can be seen colourless in black light as it has only one colour(black).

I think the sky is blue because of the sea. Not the other way around. I color of the sea which is not just water. Is affected by the fact that blue light is absorbed and the minerals in the water. Hence, the minerals affect the different colors you see from place to place. Near limestone I've noticed a much greener vivid color. Partially since the bottom is a different color.

If you look at something red it is red because all other wavelengths of different colours are absorbed by what it is that you're looking at & the red part of the spectrum is being reflected back into your eye. The gasses in the atmosphere act as a 'filter' absorbing more of the yellow/red end of the spectrum so we see the sky as blue. The sea reflects the colour of the sky. Notice how when it is cloudy, the sea is never blue

Sea reflects the colour of the sky.
Further sky is blue coz the particles in the atmosphere scatter blue light more than any other color.

Friend,
sky, apparent dome over the earth, background of the clouds, sun, moon, and stars. The blue color of the clear daytime sky results from the selective scattering of light rays by the minute particles of dust and vapor in the earth's atmosphere. The rays with longer wavelengths (the reds and yellows) pass through most readily, whereas the shorter rays (the blues) are scattered. An excess of dust, especially in large particles, causes scattering of many rays besides the blue, and the sky "fades" and becomes whitish or hazy. The sky thus is clearest in winter, in the morning, after a rain, over a mountain, or over the ocean.

The sea looks blue as water absorbs all other colours and reflects only blue

The same reason the sea looks black at night. Water is like a mirror and reflects the sky and comes off blue. Now if the water is murky and dirty it will have no reflection. That is why many streams and lakes and bodies of water like that have no reflection, the mud and dirt gives it a dull reflection quality and does not shine as brightly as the vast, open ocean does. Clean mirror reflects well and clear and a dirty mirror reflects dull and dirty.

It's just the color of the sky reflecting on the water that makes it appear blue.

Water has a colour; very pure water is a faint blue. It's just that it's so faint that you only notice it when you look through a great thickness. If you've ever dived, or seen a diving movie, you'll know that the deeper you go the bluer your surroundings appear. The same is true of ice. An ice cave appears blue.

it is not a relection of the sky. no rely what time of day that's, or how deep you're or what resource of illumination you have, water extra applicable absorbs the longer, redder wavelengths of sunshine. The bluer wavelengths consequently get transmitted extra easily. in case your gentle resource is the sunlight, issues will look very blue at deeper depths because of the fact the gentle travelled via extra water to realize you.
