In Tangier Morocco, if you stand on the top level of the Kasbah (no, I'm not making this up), you'll see three different large bodies of water directly next to each other (Atlantic, Mediterranean, and The Strait of Gibraltar). They're each different colors. I was told that the color differentiation was due to depth differences.
