Water is colorless because its components, hydrogen and oxygen, are colorless. Water can be colored with food coloring and other means, however it's not the water itself that is colored but the particles of color suspended within.

Why is it a good job that air is odourless and colourless?
Several reasons, the first being that if air had an odour, other smells, including those that alert us to danger, would be harder to detect. Also, our sense of taste would be impaired as a valuable part of that taste is smell. this could prove dangerous if we were to eat something that we otherwise would not due to taste, and it proved toxic. As for it being colourless, if air had a colour, it would be much like fog in impairing vision. Imagine for a second that the air in front of your face was red. The air pressure would determine the depth of colour, however the distance that you could see through would always be less than it would be if colourless.
