What color is the shallow/coastal Atlantic ocean?

It's pale green in the Asiatic. Is there any difference with Atlantic's shallow
I need the info for a model base.
Thx

The paler the blue the shallower it is. If you going in close to the coast, keep a careful check on the depth blow the keel. You may have to fight it out with aircraft on the surface if you can't dive. Not good :p

I suppose you want to know how it looks in the real world? I've been to the North Sea and the coast of the Bretagne. As far as I remember, both times it had a medium to darkish blue colour to it. Depends also on the weather conditions, in stormy weather the North Sea looked very dark, almost black.

The Pacific has a greener tint to it. I have spent my career on a number of Oceans (or under it lol) - The Atlantic has a decided blue tint to it. If I remember right it is due to a type of Plankton that occurs in the Pacific.
