a colour is a particular experience of sense, like radio, x and gamma rays are experience towards instruments.
if you agree with me i think fantastic is a good word to describe all the wavelength ranges that can be detected the electrons orbits.
a colour is a simple word convention, it means nothing.

The answer is a kind of funny paradox.....
1>To see the color, one must shine a light on the electron.
2>When u shine a light on an electron, it absorbs that energy and moves, thus we cannot see it.
So i would say that an electron is BLACK....well any way that cant be proved or disproved.

It can't be any colour in the sense we know it. It is vastly smaller than the shortest light vwavelength we can see. The "colours" of Quarks are just convenient labels for properties that we can't otherwise describe in everyday terms.

I like to think that an electron would be a vibrant, blue with hints of purple and pink at the edge.

An electron is smaller than the wavelength of light therefore it can logically have no color as light does not bounce off them.

Probably pink, if it's a girl electron.

Quarks have "colour" not electrons.

According to my atomic model set they are black...and about the size of a marble.
