It’s not – it’s actually transparent! It only looks blue sometimes (not often enough in the UK!) because its surface reflects the blue sky. when the sky is blue. I’m looking out at the ocean now, for example (sorry to make you jealous – my flat overlooks the sea!), and it’s greenish. This is kind of a reflection of the grey clouds above, combined with some colour from the sea-bed, which isn’t very far below at this point, since I’m on the shore.
