The Radzyner has a pshat in the whole Asavim/Ilanos thing (Although he is clearly not going like Tosfos). He says that the comparison to the Yam is not so clear because there are some times and places where the yam is black or red or green. So Asavim is brought in to tell us which type of yam it was referring to. But Asavim is not so clear either because some grass is green and some is blue. So it has to bring in Ilanos. But Ilanos is also not so clear because when looked at from close they are green but when looked at from afar they appear blue. So the Rakia is brought in. But that’s also not so clear because depending on the time and place (and weather) the sky looks different. So then we compare it to the rainbow… and the cloud…
