The "south pole" of a magnet is usually marked with blue, while the "north pole" is marked with red.
Colours of magnets can differ, but usually the north pole is marked as red and the south pole is marked as either black or blue.
The red or pointy end of the needle is really the magnetic north pole, it will always point to the south pole of a bar magnet. Confusion occurs because the geographic north pole is really the earth's magnetic south pole.
If we were to align a bar magnet with the Earth's magnetic field the north pole on the bar magnet would be the red-colored portion. When it comes to Earth, as of now the North pole is in the arctic. However, this is the magnetic north pole which is slightly off true north and always wandering due to variations in the Earth's magnetic field. True north is exactly what the name implies, it the very top and perfectly centered point on the Northern hemisphere.
The north pole does not really have a red and white pole. This is a fictional characteristic made to go along with Christmas.

The north pole and the south pole. Half of the magnet is red and the other half is blue.
blue color show blue show south pole and the red color north
No particular reason. The color could be ANY color, but magnet makers began dipping one pole in paint to mark the North pole, and red paint was available. Over time, it just became the color ro use.

compasses point because of Earth's magnetic field for example, if you think of the Earth as having a big bar magnet in it, then the South end of the magnet would be in the North Pole and the North end in the South pole. then, the natural "Opposites Attract" rule comes into play.
The Magnet was a United Kingdom weekly boys' story paper published by Amalgamated Press. The Red Magnet [1908-1915] was called this because of the color of its cover in this period. These early years saw the creation of nearly all of the characters who would populate Greyfriars.

Magnets do not have colors.Further AnswerLaboratory magnets are often painted to indicate their north poles. Usually, this takes the form of completely painting the 'north' half of the magnet, and leaving the other half unpainted. There is no significance as far the colour itself is concerned, it may be black, red, or any other colour.
If it sticks to a magnet it's not gold.
