What colours could have no effect in the process of chromatography?

This question is not very precise, but I assume you mean which colours will not be separated by chromatography. It is not a property of the colour, but of the substance you are trying to split up.

Thus some black fountain pen inks separate in water, but the ink from a ball point pen usually does not.
