If by "colour" you mean skin colour, Odin was considered to be Caucasian, and in some of his forms, incredibly so. (It should be noted that there were no dark skinned peoples inhabbiting Scandinavia during these times). He had the ability (as did all the Norse gods) to change his appearance at will, and was often referred to in texts as Lifthrasir (The white one) because of his particular fondness for adopting the appearance of a wisened old man with a full white beard. This was something he did when he visited the world of men in order to blend in. Odin is usually depicted in full battle dress and white robes. His armour has been described as "pure white", which may simply suggest that it was so shiny it appeared to be white!
