* ''VideoGame/NoMansSky'': Thanks to the 2018 Abyss update and the patch that followed it, the seas are filled with exotic alien marine life and the waters can be a wide array of colours.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Populous}}'', four of the terrains have differently-colored substances that function the same as water in the others: Rock & Lava has red lava, Bit Plaius has floating letters spelling [[CreatorCameo BULLFROG,]] Cake Land has caramel, and Silly Land has a checkerboard pattern.
