The most common color of a tallit is white (wool is preferred) with black stripes at the edges. You'll see them for sale in Hebrew bookstores, and worn in the synagogue. Also common is white with blue stripes. Some Eastern Jews wear a tallit that is white on white (white with white stripes).
In Liberal Judaism, there has been the recent development of more colorful tallitot (especially for women), but this has not been embraced by Orthodox Judaism. There is no religious law on tallit color, but the tradition is very strong (the white color is alluded to in Daniel 7:9).
