AnswerWe don't even know the color of atoms, if they even have a color, because we don't have a powerful enough microscope to see them even somewhat close to that range. An electrons is less than 1/2000 of an atom, so we cannot determine the color. I don't know if we ever will, but who knows? AnswerColor is constituted electromagnetic wave. E.M. consists of electric and magnetic field components which oscillate in phase perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. Electrons have a de Broglie wave from their velocity. De Broglie wave isn't e.m. and the wave is one dimensional. So no color referred the electrons.

a.I assume the color of an electron is yet unidentified as we can't take a static picture of it.So,I think an eletron gives the color(s) by making the freqencies as per the heat & temperatures are present and varied & that what we see of a matter is the frequencies released by the electron(s) running in there orbit(s).

In the sense of visible light color, no colour at all.

In terms of color as applied to fundamental particles the electron is a lepton and leptons do not have color. Color along with charm strange etc are properties of quarks and anti-quarks.

because it is so small it does not have a color or we do not know because it is so small

Frequency determines color. Frequency is determined by the origin of the photon, i.e. emitted from an excited atom.

Color coding is not the most usual way of presenting the periodic table of elements, which when it was devised by Mendeleev, was strictly black and white. If you are looking for hydrogen on the table, hydrogen is the first element.
