Raw meat has harmful bacteria in it. When eaten raw it can make us ill. So when chopping vegetables on the same board as meat they can contaminate each other.

If cooking the vegetable straight after, its not so bad.

And the reverse is true. If you cut raw veggies on a board then use the same board for cooked meat, any bacteria that were on the raw veggies can contaminate the cooked meat which might not go through any more kill steps

Don't forget that many outbreaks are the result of eating raw vegetables that were contaminated - but not from cross-contamination in the kitchen.

What coulor chopping board do you use for vegetables?

Depends on the color of vegetables you are chopping ... I would always use a board that gives a contrast so I can locate small parts easily. Don't use black ... black boards look like you are planning to kill someone. Never use multicolored. Leftovers are harder to spot. Maybe use white ... its easy to clean and looks tidy, too.
