The reason why rain water has no colour is because, the rain water travels up from the sea to form a cloud. The sea has not colour in it. That is why rain water has no colour. : )

No pure water has any color.

The color(s) you see in water is/are due to the sunlight refracting into the colors of the rainbow, or due to impurities in the water.

In the case of refraction, raindrops are so small that it's not easy to see an entire rainbow, so only a few of the more visible colors are seen.

When the water has impurities (usually dust), sunlight illuminates the particles in different ways, causing the appearance of color.
