Lime water is nothing but calcium oxide. It is so transperent. When we blow air through it using a straw, then it becomes milky ie white. This is because of formation of calcium carbonate as carbon di oxide right from our blowing air reacts with calcium oxide.

Depends on how much lime you put in the water! If its a small amount, stays clear mostly, other than that it may go a light green.
