Why Do We Call Water The Colour Blue?

The colour which is commonly associated with water is the colour blue. On a coloured map which shows the physical divisions of a place, the colour blue is often used to colour every body of water on the map, such as oceans, lakes and streams. The colour blue is also often associated with the cold. The colours blue and white are associated with ice and snow. By extension, they also represent the winter season.

When ice, which is often coloured either blue or white, melts, it is in the liquid state of matter, namely water, which, by extension, is also represented in the blue colour. Ice is nothing but water that has solidified. Blue, because of its association with both water and the sky, is said to be a colour which has a soothing, calming influence. The names of many mountains and rivers in the world are preceded by the word blue.

It is called colour blue, because the sky is blue as reflected in the sea. But actually, water has no color ^^
