Of / with

The lake is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Its water is very cold and of / with the green and the blue colour.

I think the correct preposition here is of but someone else is insisting on with. Please decide between us.

Thanks.

You are "more correct" I suppose, but the sentence does not work anyway because of "the green and the blue colour". This would work: Its water is very cold and of a blue-green colour.
