Colored is a verb when used in the sense of having, for example, colored something:

She colored her hair red. Her child colored a drawing green. He colored his fence white.

Colored is also a verb when used in the sense of blushing or changing color:

He colored when he realized they knew he'd lied. The sky colored at dawn.

Colored is an ajective when used in the sense of being a certain color:

The curtains were colored blue. The new paint was red-colored. Their views are colored by recent media reports. Some foods are artificially colored.

Colored is also a nearly-obsolete term for a person with skin darker than, for example, a light-skinned Caucasian person. This could be either a noun or an adjective: The terms 'colored person' 'person of color' or 'colored races' are now considered derogatory and offensive, and are no longer in general use' We would never now refer to anyone as 'a colored', as some might have a century ago.
