An electron is smaller than the wavelength of visible light (i.e. colors), thus it has no color. An electron, however, can emit a photon in the visible spectrum when it falls from a high-energy level to lower-energy level.

I once read in some old science book that since metals have a lot of free electons running about, that is what you see when you look at the surface of a metal. Therefore the color of electrons (he said) was "metallic" or "silvery". However, as an earlier responder pointed out, electrons are smaller than the wavelenght of vislble light and cannot selectively reflect frequencies in that region of the spectrum, so electons do not have a color.

It's hard to say; your question may have no answer, or truly be unanswerable. Photons are responsible for generating color when certain wavelengths of them are not absorbed by substances. The unabsorbed visible wavelengths cause color. Electrons play a role in this absorption as a component in the substance, and have no bias against which wavelength of light they themselves absorb; because when a photon hits them, they either absorb it or they don't, giving them a whitish or gray appearance when imaged.

Sort of blue and they flash and dance a bit. They are great, I mean really great, they like dance to the music. Sometimes, when I can't get the good stuff they are a dull pink and look like little boxes, i guess thats the charmed ones. Seriously, you should have a look, everything has got them, the curtains, the sky, so cool even my dog is full of them, just dancing, and bouncing, and, like, pulsing, thats it pulsing.
Sorry what was the question? Got to go feel very hungry.

Well after much thought & deliberation I have finally come to the conclusion that an electron is colourless!!!

Quarks have color, electrons don't.
I once saw one turn red with anger though...
Tip: If you grease your electrons, they'll move faster.

it is blue because the spark is flow of electrons and the spark it blue

None.
If you mean the color used in diagrams, it's blue.
