I'm nowhere near water now to test this out (it's also nightime here in South Africa at the moment).
Anyone else hear that explanation? - I recall my father (a keen photographer in his day) telling me this.

the colors depending of camera matrix (film) and physics of light rays going in and out of water.
Color in reality and fixed by camera are always different. No one photo without corrections with speciall rules show real colors when you make a picture of water on a big space.
