The apple story is apocryphal, meaning "of dubious authenticity", or "an interesting story or fable". The story was that Newton was sitting underneath an apple tree when an apple fell next to him. This prompted him to consider that while he knew that things DID fall, he didn't know WHY, or what the mechanism was. He ought to be able to figure out what the force on the apple was.

What was the colour of the apple which fell on sir isaac newton?

The story of the apple has been greatly exaggerated over the years. Newton used an apple as an example when explaining that Earth's gravity pulls the apple down and that same gravity acts on the moon to keep it in orbit around the earth. I don't believe there was an apple that actually fell on Newton.
