It's almost colourless.You are obviously thinking of agricultural diesel which has a red dye added to distinguish it from the taxed variety, which helps Customs find people who are using it on the roads.

It's almost colourless to distinguish it from red diesel that has not had excise duty paid on it. Red diesel stains a tank permanently so Customs & Excise can tell if you have ever used it in a road vehicle.

Road fuels are almost clear. Fuels used for off road use, IE lawn tractors etc. have a red die added to them so if they are used i road vehicle(to avoid taxes) they can be fined
