Yellow and silver
The color of the mixture of sulfur and iron filings would likely be a dark grey or black, due to the color of the iron filings dominating the visual appearance.
Iron and sulfur form a mixture known as iron sulfide, often called pyrite or fool's gold. This mixture can be created by heating a combination of iron and sulfur powders in a controlled environment.
No, the proportion of iron and sulfur in a mixture is not always fixed. It can vary depending on the composition of the mixture and how it was prepared. The proportion can be adjusted by changing the quantities of iron and sulfur added to the mixture.
A mixture of iron and sulfur can be separated by using a magnet to attract the iron (which is magnetic) while leaving the sulfur behind. The iron can then be removed, leaving the sulfur as the only component remaining.

Reacting iron with sulfur an iron sulfide is formed, not a mixture.

ironsulphide
A mixture of iron and sulfur can be separated by using a magnet to attract the iron (which is magnetic) while leaving the sulfur behind. The iron can then be removed, leaving the sulfur as the only component remaining.
Sulfur alone is a bright yellow solid with a faint odor, while in the unheated iron sulfur combination, it appears as a mixture of yellow sulfur and grayish iron. When heated, the iron sulfur combination undergoes a chemical reaction to form iron sulfide, resulting in a color change to a darker gray-black solid compared to the original components.
brown powder
Iron sulfur mixture is magnetic because iron is a ferromagnetic material; meaning it can be magnetized and retain its magnetism. When iron is combined with sulfur to form a mixture, the presence of iron in the mixture imparts magnetic properties to it.
When the magnet is moved beneath the mixture of iron and sulfur, the iron particles will be attracted to the magnet due to their magnetic properties, while the sulfur particles will not be affected by the magnet. This will result in the separation of the iron from the sulfur in the mixture.
