I do remember anions is negative.
Now to google search for what are the colors of anions
Wow at Quora they discussing what are the colors of anions

Yes majority of anions are colourless ,only those anions where transition metal is a part of it are coloured eg.MnO4-1 ,Cr2O7 -2, CrO4-2 etc.
Please note these anions are coloured due to the presence of transition metals in their structure
@River Sea see responds here in this thread what Raj Bhushansingh wrote
So majority of anions are colorless? However there are anions that do have color. I keep researching this 'till I know.
This is how far I gotten to your question @Bthoth
What are the colors of anions?
But wait I want to know now.
How come Raj Bhushansingh didn't explain what the colors are? Let me google search this what the colors are by copy and paste anions are coloured due to the presence of transition metals in their structure and lets see if google search will tell me what the colors are.
So far google search doesn't tell me what colors as google search says
Complex ions containing transition metals are usually colored, whereas the similar ions from non-transition metals are not. That suggests that the partly filled d orbitals must be involved in generating the color in some way. Remember that transition metals are defined as having partly filled d orbitals.Jun 30, 2023

So I'll go back to your question @Bthoth and google search
What are the colors of anions?
so far I'm not finding an answer, maybe it's further down in that thread at Quora
Question how come google search doesn't show what the colors are, it seems one has to search more to find out?
I'll keep studying this.

Are all anions colourless? Which anions are not colourless?
Answer (1 of 3): Yes majority of anions are colourless ,only those anions where transition metal is a part of it are coloured eg.MnO4-1 ,Cr2O7 -2, CrO4-2 etc. Please note these anions are coloured due to the presence of transition metals in their structure
