If wavelength of light changes inside water due to refraction, why does the colour of light not change?

Thanx in advance...

when light goes from one medium to another both the speed of the light and the wavelength of the light changes. But the frequency of the series of light waves does not change; therefore, the color does not change.

f=c/lambda

when both speed and wavelength r changing frequency does not change..

Thank you for your reply. I think the colour of light and the type of spectrum depends on its wavelength. Please correct me if I am wrong...
