if we say because of the substance...is it means that, the atoms in it are invisible? The Cu2+ solution is blue in color...then can we say that the H+ is colorless or invisible?

can we say that the water is colorless or invisible is because of the temperature?

Atoms themselves are colorless. When they make molecules or ions, the electronic structure gives it color. Most dyes that you see are from complex organic compounds. Water is a simple molecule with no color. Same with H+

You are right: colorless glass and water are invisible. We only see, the edges, the dirt on or in it, reflections and the waves

Fluids have color based on their refractive indices which are a function of the wavelength (or frequency) of the incident light. This affects the 'color' of a given fluid. I think water's refractive indices are not a strong function of wavelength so all colors pass through almost uniformly.. but they are a function of temperature (thus the different colors of the ocean at different temperatures)

it is colorless so to speak, because the light passes through it.
