What effect can adding water to a colour have?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The colour may look lighter and more transparent
Adding water dilutes a water-based colour, reducing the amount of pigment in each brushstroke. As a result, the colour usually appears lighter and allows more of the paper or lower layer to show through, creating greater transparency. Therefore, option A is correct. Water does not always turn colour black, and it changes neither smell nor sound; those choices do not describe a visual colour property.
