The Biome Specific water colors aren't working anymore. I set my 'Biome Blend' option to 0 as to show when the grass colors change and how the water color doesn't. As well as have signs to show what biome is which.
(I already miss that fantastic light blue desert water color that was introduced)

@Conner Steppie,
Good observation, but not really, as I don't have the biome colored water to begin with. (I do in oceans and swamps, but not secondary biomes like Deserts, Taigas, Plains, Extreme Hills, etc, which all used to have their own specific colors in one of the snapshots)

Are you using a resource pack? Can I see a screenshot of F3 at one of these test spots?

Hello,
I'll get a screenshot shortly.
I was not using a resource pack, however I found a snapshot-compatible resourcepack to test if that would help, and it didn't (either the bug still persisted or the resourcepack didn't have biome colored water, didn't check [John Smith Legacy]). I also figured it could have to do with something in the default resourcepack, I opened one of the bins or asset folders not too long ago, was wondering if that had anything to do with, so I created an entirely new minecraft folder in Application Support, but that didn't fix the bug. I also looked back at 18w15a, and it seems like I don't have the water colors then either. I forget when biome water colors were added, but I've tested versions 15a, 20a, 21b, and 22a and I find the bug in all of them.
I'll go take the screenshot now.

Well the screenshots should be added in the list now, I took two with F3 open. I think they just appear as enormous if I post them in the comments

I'd say this is fixed:
Frozen Ocean, Deap Ocean and Beach :

Oceans, Beaches, and Swamps all work for me, it's just the secondary biomes, the ones that were added this update, which don't work for me. Such as the neat Desert Water which should look more cyan/teal if I'm not mistaken, or taigas which had a distinct color which I forget now.
I don't have any of the other biomes which are new to the update. I only have the biomes which we had ≥ 1.12 (Oceans, beaches, swamps, [I don't think Rivers work for me right now however, since they seem to have the same color as the regular oceans, and I think they were slightly distinct before if I'm not mistaken?])

Am I mistaken in thinking that was a feature? I am almost CERTAIN I remember there being distinct biome water colors for practically each biome... Yet I can't find what snapshot that came in... I remember seeing it in both a youtube video, and playing on a snapshot that had that... I distinctly remember both the Taiga and Desert water colors being particularly nicer.
This is a feature isn't it?

I don't play Bedrock, only Java, but it seems the only video I found on each biome having a specific color came from bedrock edition. I was almost CERTAIN that I had played on a snapshot that had this feature...
If it's only a bedrock feature then I suppose I'm sorry for wasting your time... My mistake. Though I really hope I'm right in thinking it's a java feature, I was so happy when I saw it introduced.
Again, sorry if I wasted your time, if I'm mistaken that is.
(This might be the video I was remembering, and it's obviously on bedrock edition: https://youtu.be/wfmeP7LNz-4?t=9m54s)

Closing this, no other reports like this came in meanwhile.
