The depth of the water in the bucket compared to the depth in your hand. You literally see more particles in the deeper water

Less water means less dirt to reflect light. Also, the color of your palm overwhelms the relatively small amount of dirt; if you put it on a white sheet of paper instead, you’ll probably see some dirt/color.
