I don't know this. I used to live on the Florida Gulf coast, where the
sand is perfectly white, and when the water is not full of algae 
and jellyfish it is vivid green, at least at certain depths.
Where else but on a white sand beach could you really see massive
quantities of water without the background of its container?
From my experience, I'll argue that water is green.
