It's a little different underwater. Past a certain point the light waves of certain colors won't penetrate that deep, so after a certain point the only color you can see is blue. This is why deep water is blue, that's the only wavelength that goes that deep. Might look radically different down there. Ocean creatures, especially crustaceans like the mantis shrimp, can see a much much wider range of color than we can

Rayleigh scattering. Also why the sky is blue.
