If it has no colour, are you sure it has any substance?
If not, it is academic as to what colour it should be, as it doesn't exist.

The wise man says that if your wall is colourless then that is your wall: your wall if is colourless then it will remain colourless. And if a colour, or an idea of colour is added to your wall then that will not be the same wall, it will then be a different wall, not yours, that then you can reclaim however as your new wall but until then that wall is not in existence. All you have now is your wall that colourless. And if, for instance, you accept the suggestion of the wise man and add his suggested colour to your wall that is so far colourless then that wall will not be exclusively your. It will be your wall plus wise man's idea of colour added to your wall. The wise man says - you must be careful what you ask for!

If you're asking what colour a 'colourless wall' appears to be, it would be pure white.

Walls are coloured with PIGMENT. An equal mix of the three primary colours: red, yellow, and blue, results in black. Total absence of colour therefore means pure white.

LIGHT, such as the colours on your computer monitor, works differently. An equal mix of the three primary colours: magenta, yellow, and cyan, creates WHITE. Therefore total absence of colour in terms of light, is black.

Incidentally, the way pigment works, is that the colour your eye sees is the colour that is reflected, and all the other colours are absorbed. So, a red flower absorbs the yellow and blue, and reflects the red part of the light SPECTRUM: infra-red, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ultra-violet.

Try looking at a red flower through a piece of red plastic. The plastic filtres out all of the red light, in the spectrum. The flower reflects only red light. The flower will still be there, but will appear black & white, because your eyes' colour receptors will receive no information, and you'll be seeing only with your eyes' light/dark/shape receptors. It's quite an amusing experiment.

Mmm...
1) It depends which side of the wall you are looking at.
2) The wall should be the same colour it reflects or passes through.
3) My oppinion concerning that question is biased.
4) Leave it as it is and see how it goes.
5) Brighten up person and the world will be much brighter
6) Tell it a joke
7) You have yet to build your wall.

The same colour as the bricks! BUT if your bricks are colourless, then your walls are colourless, which means they are made of glass.

depending on how big your room is, you can paint your wall dark shades if the room is big or soft and pastel and lively shades to make the room seem bigger-if it is small. i would choose a color such as a tangerine or something lively since my parents have done that color on my sister's room and it looks gorgeous! black and white are too plain and will close up the space you have making your room smaller! use some lively colors or go for neutrals as long as you do not paint it deep shades! good luck with what eve you may chose!

Yes I would go with black too, being "absence of colour" rather than a colour in itself.

If you poked both your eyeballs out, it would cease to be any colour, at least in *your* perception of reality. Or is that another question...."If I can't see the wall, does that mean it doesn't have a colour?"

Heh heh.

Black, white is not a colour it is all the colours of the spectrum in one, not with paint though only light!
