No, Missouri was never a colony. It became part of the United States after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, when the U.S. acquired a vast territory from France. Missouri was admitted to the Union as the 24th state on August 10, 1821, following its status as a territory from 1812. Prior to U.S. ownership, it was inhabited by various Native American tribes and was explored by European settlers, but it was not established as a colony like others in North America.
