Photon is not a particle at all. It is having zero rest mass. The colour of light is mainly due to variation in the frequency nu. The energy of a photon is given by the formula

E= h nu. Here nu is the frequency of the radiation. As frequency changes colour changes. For violet it will be the highest and for red its frequecy will be the lowest.

Does a photon differ from its inertial particle?

A photon is a massless elementary particle that does not have rest mass, while an inertial particle typically refers to a particle with mass that obeys Newton's laws of motion. Photons always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, whereas inertial particles can have a range of velocities depending on their energy.
