Question
If an electron has a wavelength, does it also have a colour?
✓

Answer

Colour is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves. Electrons behave as a de-Broglie wave because of their velocity. A de-Broglie wave is not an electromagnetic wave and is one dimensional. Hence, no colour is shown by an electron.
