If in a chemistry exam, you said that H20 is blue, you would receive 0 marks

 

Sorry but GSCE's are bulls**t. If you take chemistry or Physics at college, you will learn that some of the things you were taught at GCSE level are completely wrong.

 

I know, in many cases our teachers appologise for teaching us lies, but they have to. However, water is still colourless, it has no colour.  If it is pure, it has no colour. It is a completely different question if it is not pure, but it completely colourles

 

If the water you have is colorless, you don't have enough of it.  When you have enough water (pure or not) you can see its color.  You do know that so called clear glass is generally greenish in color, but if you make a thin wafer of this glass , it will look clear.  Take the same glass and form a giant block of it, and suddenly you will start to see the greenish tinge.
