The cold ocean is a cold variant of oceans.

Description

The separate colors of each ocean variant in Java Edition.

The cold ocean uses a dark indigo water color at the surface and often generates next to cold biomes like taigas and old growth taigas. Like regular oceans and frozen oceans, its floor is made up mainly of gravel. The vegetation in cold oceans also has less seagrass compared to other ocean variants.

Sounds

When in any ocean biome, unique ocean ambience play randomly. Normal overworld tracks also play, alongside "Axolotl", "Dragon Fish" and "Shuniji", as the requirements for those are merely to be underwater rather than biome-determined.
