do you mean as in directions/medicine wheel? if so then:
modern "western cherokee" colors-red, yellow, black, white
traditional "eastern cherokee" colors- blue, red, black, white...if you want color orientation then I would suggest you look that up and decide for yourself what meanings and directions you wish to pursue

Your question is ambiguous. Do you mean what colors the Cherokee prefer in their clothing and implements of war centuries ago or are you talking of their skin tone?
In a short story I had written, my Cherokee protagonist had placed bands of black, yellow, and red near the arrow feathering as he hunted his prey--the U.S. Cavalry in the form of modern-day soldiers on motorcycles.
In either case, perhaps true Cherokees on board can better answer your misleading question.

I do paintings and find favor with earth colors, think earth,sky, water, all things living.
