Seas with color names
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are four seas in the world that are named in English after common color names, although most look blue. The names are: The Red Sea, White Sea, Black Sea, and Yellow Sea. Their names are given by the color of the water. Sometimes a system of color symbolism was used as the following method green or light blue for east, black or dark for north, white for west, and red for south. This method is called cardinal directions.[1] There are other theories but these two methods of colors are also used.
