It varies, and it depends on the insect. Confusing the issue is that many insects have receptors that can process light beyond our own visual spectrum (like ultra-violet), so they're going to see colors that don't look the same to us. Generally, night-flying insect pollinators go for white colors (which have high contrast), while day-flying pollinators generally go for blues and reds with UV component (and for things like bees, that can vary between individuals in a hive, and maybe oeven within individuals from day to day). If you're not talking about flower pollinators, of course, things get more interesting. You have to figure out what what the insect is looking for, and then see what color that thing is; that usually tips you off as to the color it looks for.
