Possibly not at all, actually -- it really does depend. I can show you some
photos of the water colour in glacier lakes in Jasper National Park, and you'd
swear that the colour was artificial, yet rock flour in the water can produce
the most amazing blue-greens and turquoises you've ever seen. I showed such a
picture to a friend back in Central Canada many years ago, and his reply was
"What's wrong with your film?" ;-)

Again, I've seen real-life images in the Rockies and out on the West Coast of
Canada (or "the 'Wet' Coast," as we like to say here) that look *exactly* like
that, 'specially when those lovely maritime fronts roll off the ocean with
waves and waves of fog like an enormous wall of cotton candy...
