Hi!
Yes, changing how water moves can affect how it looks. When water is still, it looks clearer and darker because light goes straight through. When water is moving or choppy, the surface breaks up and reflects more light, which makes the water look lighter or a different shade of blue or green. If you want, I can explain how light and waves cause this in more detail.
