I thought for the intial charge of the beads, that 100% of the beads were supposed to be clear. Or at least thats what stated on the package, I think, could be wrong though.

As for adding water afterwards, I do have a spray bottle, but recently Ive been setting a shot glass beside them to absorb from. I think I like this way better so far.

Also I thought it would only take a few hours for the cooler to come up to the correct humidity, guess I was wrong and paniced for nothing.
