Colorless.

Colors are not in the objects, but in the way objects reflect light.
So, if there's no light, there are no colors

Colour is creted upon reflection fo light, so technically, in complete darkeness, your shirt has no colour.

It's still red, you just can't see it.
It's like with Creation: "In the beginning there was nothing, and God said "Let there be light !" And there was still nothing, but now you could see it."
