| | Re: What was the color of the primordial soup ocean? |
 | | The primordial ocean probably differed from the modern ocean in a lot of ways. |
 | | Of course, the sea would not have been polluted by people; there was no floating tar (no tar at all; it comes, ultimately, from decaying organisms), no bubbles of detergent, and no bits of plastic, paper, or wood. |
 | | If there were places where the primitive organic molecules were concentrated, such as in coastal lagoons, the water may have been cloudy, but not as cloudy as it is today in similar places. |
