I think the problem is more of the shape (physics) than pigment. It kind of
looks like frozen metal or wrinkled plastic or even clay, ie. not a liquid.
I think a liquid surface is very difficult to get looking realistic without
using the underlying physics, especially so if it interacts with solids at
the boundaries.
