Water is colorless. 

I know that, thanks. I drink it all the time. With the term "green water" I was only referring to the VMS coloring, whereby the color is derived from green plant life living in or on the surface of the water as you can see in this Wikimedia photo of a New World swamp:



Let me point out that the plant depicted on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is unambiguously a Nymphoides aquatica, a New World plant (large green leaf with white flower) that lives on the surface of pond water. There is no such plant in Europe and hence the green marsh foam we see in the VMS is more likely located in the Americas than in Europe. If I recall correctly, a while back JP found a similar plant (but with wrong color flower) in India but he failed to back it up with a VMS depiction of the Buddha, a Hindu temple, an elephant, or anything else that would affirm contact with India.

Please see my preceding post for more evidence that the VMS depicts swamp water.
