Andrew;

The colours fall out of the visiable spectrum in order; Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green, Indigo, an Violet (ROY G BIV). All has to do with available light and water clairity, yaddy-da, As the available light dims the colors go away. The reason one can "see" colors at depth (oil pipe in Gulf ), is the use of ... LIGHTS. with out'em Nothing total absense of light nothing to reflect the colors BLACK.
Found this link for you Andrew...ithas a chart with the depths.

EDIT - Thanks for the link. Very interesting!
