I was bored and surfing for entertaining things to ponder - when I came across this link:

Seems that not only are greens, blues, muddy browns, aqua marines, and sandy grays natural water colors - but also RED! I was flabberghasted by this article about a river delta in France that is naturally BRILLIANT CRIMSON RED because of the salt content and bed soil oxydization! Seems that if you want salty deltas and lakes in your map world - it's perfectly reasonable to make them a gory blood red! WOW!
This would be a perfect location to film a Vampirella Movie, lol. This demands further research for map applications!

The smell is odd and it's a weird feeling to start to float when you're barely up past your waist in the pools. The brine is super-saturated and very dense. It also heats oddly in the desert sun. By noon in September, the bottoms of the pools are still about 50F, while the top six inches or so are closer to 90F. Then when you get out of the pools, the brine dries to tiny salt crystals and turns your clothing into a poorly-jointed suit of salt armor.
