All bacteria, including cocci, are colorless under the microscope unless you use a light filter or a stain. If you use a light filter or a stain then the color depends on which wavelength the filter is for or which type of stain you are using.

You should look at anything interesting under a microscope! I once got a small toy microscope at a book fair. I looked at many things but the thing that interested me the most was the picture in a book. If you look at a color in a picture in a book you will see that it's not yellow (or any color) that your looking at! It's really millions and millions of different colors! It's sooo... AWESOME!!! :-)
