A misleading clue is a RED herring, but I'm not sure what a "color idiom" is.

Red herring:
Something that draws attention away from the central issue, as in Talking about the new plant is a red herring to keep us from learning about downsizing plans. The herring in this expression is red and strong-smelling from being preserved by smoking. The idiom alludes to dragging a smoked herring across a trail to cover up the scent and throw off tracking dogs. [Late 1800s]

A red herring, which is something meant to distract one's train of thought, to draw attention away from a main clue and throw a person off track.
