Light can't escape a black hole, but if you were below the event horizon, the light would shift extremely into the red end of the spectrum by the time it hit your eyes. Before light reaches the event horzon of a black hole, it is red-shifted into lower energies by gravity until it disappears altogether. Since it can't really slow down (the speed of light being an absolute constant), it does this in order to return its energy back to the black hole. It sounds weird but the universe isn't as intuitive as you think.

Black holes would still be black. The light escaping would be the color of the light that is shining in the black hole between your ears.

That makes no sense. They're simply called "black' because you can't see them. By definition, light can NOT escape. If it could, it no longer qualifies as a black hole.

The black hole will suck the light in.so there's no question of escaping the black hole by a light.Hope its clear now.

no.they can't have colour. that is why they are called black hole. they distort colour, light,ray and even magnetic fields
