Lake sort of glazes over

in the attached files I have a lake that was drawn on top of a terrain fill and is a very white rather than blue. It would be super for an iced over lake but I don't want it to be that.
I want it to be the same color as the sea but as I've drawn it over the farmland I can't use Color Key to drill through the terrain as well as well as the Land sheet. I have tried. It doesn't work. Any suggestions? I've run out of ideas.

You can use the lake polygon as a cut out shape on more than one sheet. I've set it up for you in this version. All I did was add a Color Key sheet effect to the TERRAIN FARMLAND sheet, change the properties of the lake to solid colour 6 (magenta), moved it to the TERRAIN FARMLAND sheet and copied it from there to the LAND sheet.
There's nothing left on the actual LAKES sheet now.
I hope this is what you wanted?
thanks Sue, very much indeed. I'll do that to every sheet in future just in case.
