Dirty yellow tinge reffers to the condition of water when Douglas was drowning. Due to the presence of sun overhead, the water seemed yellow and dirt particles could be seen.

If it is so then why did the author at the starting of the lesson say "The water was still, and the tiled bottom was as white and clean as a bathtub." ?

She makes sense....

Shubham V answered this

I think it refers to the fear of Douglas in that situation that made him see the yellow glow.

Atharv answered this

The yellow water refers to the colour of the water which Douglas saw when he was drowning....this was because of sun overhead and particles easily visible...

Acinom answered this

Dirty word is due to presence of dirt particles or as he was inside the water his vision is blur

Anushka answered this

It means that the sun was heating up the water he felt warmth because of it and underwater, as it is everything appears blurry. Also taking in account his exhausted state the water appears dirty yellow.
