Why does a glass of water appear to have no color but the ocean is a deep blue color?

Color depends on reflected light, in most cases that reflected light is blue. Now bear in mind that it takes an extreme amount of water and light for our eyes to pick up on that reflected light. Is a glass of water sitting in the sun reflecting blue? Yes, but it's too minute for us to pick up on it. By the same token, fill two identical glasses, one with tap water and one with ocean water, set them side by side in the sun, and you won't be able to tell any difference...even though you KNOW the ocean water is reflecting blue (as is the tap water).
