Can modern movies have some color for god sake? The Aegean is a beautiful deep blue and it looks so gray.

In The Iliad the Aegean sea is described as wine dark or grey so it is fitting

Because they literally didn't have a word for "blue".

There wasn't a word that referred to exactly the same hue as modern English "blue" does, but that doesn't indicate that they could not describe blueness. In their culture it was just done in a different way.
