By the way did you notice the part of the Ritva that you specifically left out where he says the pshat of not being directly domeh? Anyway, both of those pshatim explain why Yam is mentioned. But they don’t explain why it says that the Yam is domeh to the Rakia as opposed to saying that Techeiles is Domeh to the Rakia.

The Mishnas R’ Elazar is not quite a Mefurash Bavli and anyway like I said before, it’s not a problem to say “Techeiles Domeh L’sapir” even if Techeiles is green because you can compare things even if they’re not exactly alike, especially since we already know that it’s domeh to sapir through a few steps.
