2. A very faint blue tint in pure water.
3. Pink comes from the (toxic) algae and crustaceans that they ingest in the highly saline waters of certain African lakes.

Q1. There are 7 colours in a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Q2. Pure water is slightly blue.
Q3. Flamingos are pink due to their diet of shrimp and blue-green algae.
I agree with the answers submitted by @MI5, @Cleoriff and @pgn .

I wish to correct my acknowledgement on the questions:
I agree with @MI5, @Cleoriff and @pgn on Q1; @Cleoriff and @pgn for Q2 and Q3. Sorry, I didn't read all the answers properly.
I should add I'm acknowledging @pgn's first set of answers not his amusing second set of answers.
Now I'm off to bed as I'm falling asleep as I type this. Nite all
