The blue appearance of the open oceans is due to the reflection off the "blue" sky. On an overcast day, the sea will look rather grey. Close to a sandy shore, the agitated water will be brown due to carrying a lot of sand grains. If the shore is rocky, due to less sand grains, the water will appear clearer, and an observer would be able to see the seabed.

On a map what color is for water?
When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.
