man! did you think of this yourself or did some teacher ask you? Its a tough question and as yet unanswerable. If you are a kid and wondered this then you are a genius. If it was your teacher however, then they are foolish, since they should know better than to ask. It is not possible to tell what colour a nucleolus is because it cannot be seen with the naked eye - and it is the eye which allows the perception of colour. In order to see a nucleolus you need to treat the tissue (the cell) - this treatment strips the colour out of the tissue and affects the normal nature of cell (including its colour). When you see it under the microscope therefore its whatever colour you stain it - if you don't stain it is it transparent and colourless. If you look at it under an electron microscope it will APPEAR green - because everything appears green under the EM - although these days you can add any artificial colour you like - but NO-ONE knows what colour subcellular components (like the nucleolus) are. Hope that helps

What should be added to a cell preparation to increase the contrast between nucleus and cytoplasm?

Adding a stain such as Methylene Blue while color the cell. This makes it so that not all the light passes through the cell allowing for it to be more visible. This also will stain the cytoplasm a lighter color than the nucleus so the nucleus will be very dark and obvious. -Kodie
