carbon dioxide is normally a colourless gas.
It doesn't exist as a liquid, and as a solid it's white. it's also odourless. The easiest way to detect it is to bubble it throught limewater, which, in the presence of carbon dioxide, will go cloudy.

Carbon dioxide at room temperature is a gas and "invisible". If it is solid (dry ice) then you can see it - it is white.
Some of the other users confused carbon dioxide with carbon monoxide (also colourless, known as the silent killer).

Liquid carbon dioxide would not exist decrease than wide-spread situations. you should up the tension for that. i don't recognize what color it has. stable carbon dioxide feels like white stable, quite like ice. it is dry ice. Any carbon dioxide might smell like gaseous carbon dioxide... i.e. it would not smell in any respect.

Completely colourless, without smell or taste
I think it's carbon monoxide that's known as the silent killer.

colourless that's why they call it the silent killer.
