I can't even remember how I came up with the colors used in the sea water, but
it comes from a scattering media rather than from a pigment.  I did some
research on wave patterns, but I'm not sure how well I modeled what I found, but
I liked it so I didn't play with it too much beyond that.  The fun part was
getting the crates and the raft to "float" on the waves in a somewhat realistic
manner.
