Coloured salts generally have a cation which is a transition metal. Iron, Chromium, Manganese, Vanadium and Copper all are examples of transition metals that make colourful salts.

Notice that there are exceptions - particularly the period 6 main group metals like lead share some of the properties of the transition group metals and can make colourful salts - the bright yellow precipitate of lead iodide (PbI) is an example commonly used as demonstration of precipitation reactions.

Can a cation and anion be isoelectronic from the same period?

Yes, a cation and an anion can be isoelectronic if they have the same number of electrons. For example, in the third period of the periodic table, a sodium cation (Na+) and a fluorine anion (F-) are isoelectronic because they both have 10 electrons.

Is sodium a anion are a cation?

Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table. When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)). Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS. Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION. Collectively they are ions.
