Electrons don't have colors. Color is defined by the frequency of light emitted by an atom when it goes from an energized state to a less energized state. Electrons (atleast free electrons) don't do that. Electrons DO get energized when they're a part of an atom, but that would be the color of the atom itself.

It's like asking for the share price of a person. People don't have share prices - but when they are a part of a larger group of people (a company) they have share prices (the company does, not the individual).

"Color" is a property of light, the basic unit of which is a photon. The "color" of an electron depends of the wavelength of light interacting with it. A red light of a certain intensity, will knock electrons from a metal. The color you would see in this case would be red.

We don't know the rest mass of a neutrino. It is believed to have some mass, but it is too small to measure.

Bluer than indigo, but not as blue as gamma.
The color of an electron varies in prooportion to its energy., E = hf, where E is energy, h is Plank's constant, and f is frequency. No frequency of the electron lies within the visible spectrum, the highest frequency of which is indigo.

In 1998 the mass of the neutrino was found to be 0.1 eV or greater, compared with about 0.5 MeV for the electron. According to Wikipedia, today the answer is "Which neutrino":
Generation 1 (electron)
Electron neutrino < 2.2 eV
Electron antineutrino < 2.2 eV
Generation 2 (muon)
Muon neutrino < 170 keV
Muon antineutrino < 170 keV
Generation 3 (tau)
Tau neutrino < 15.5 MeV
Tau antineutrino < 15.5 MeV

An objects colour is determined by the wavelength(s) of the lihjt it absorbs or reflects. The colour of any particular electron will depend on where it is and what its doing at the time.
You cannot 'see' an electron without reflecting some light, and the light will change the position and direction of the electron, so its colour would have changed by the time you saw what it was anyway.
In terms of visible light, electrons are far too small to see anyway, so they do not have colour.

If you are referring to 'colour' charge, this is the realm of quarks and electrons though made of quarks do not have any net colour charge as far as I know.

The neutrino is historically considered to have no mass at all, but I believe certain data implies an incredibly small mass after all. You can usually ignore it for most purposes.

Subatomic particles don't have "color". This is a mental process that only occurs in our brain when we perceive light of different frequencies.

Electrons can emit light of certain "color" frequencies but the electron can emit most any frequency depending on what atom it is on and what excited state it is moving from back to its ground state.

So the electron really doesn't have a color.

The neutrino comes in three flavors and only one of the three has mass, which is very small. Much smaller than an electron. So small that I don't remember seeing it reported yet.

HI FRIEND!! THEIR IS NO COLOUR OF ELECTRON. The Standard Model of particle physics assumes that neutrinos are massless, although adding massive neutrinos to the basic framework is not difficult. Indeed, the experimentally established phenomenon of neutrino oscillation requires neutrinos to have non-zero masses.

Electrons cannot said to possess discrete colours.Maybe it can be made to look in a way like this.
An electron gun is a component that produces an electron beam that has a precise kinetic energy, being used in all TVs and monitors which use cathode ray tube technology.
Most colour CRTs (such as is used in a colour television set) are made up of three electron guns, each one producing a different stream of electrons and which stream electrons through a shadow mask where the stream from each electron gun will impinge upon either a red, green or blue phosphor to light up a colour dot of a pixel of the screen, the resultant colour (or white) a combination of these three primary colours.

the wavelength which we can detect with our eyes is in range of 400 to 700 nm approx. the wavelength of electron is much smaller, we can say it to be colourless.
neutrinos have a mass of 0.1 eV or greater, compared with about 0.5 MeV for the electron.

ELECTRONS ARE COLOURLESS
MASS OF NEUTRINO IS 0 i.e., IT IS MASSLESS

You're kidding, right? Electrons don't have color, pigments do.
