Cumulonimbus cloud's colour depends on the conditions, time and your location. In broad daylight, with the sun shining on them they are usually white, like all clouds in daylight. The base of the cloud is dark grey because of the thick cloud blocking the sun. Depending on the cloud thickness, the underside of a cumulonimbus can even be black.
When there is a lot of hail and ice crystals in the cloud, it can take on a green or turquoise appearance.
In the sunset, the cloud can appear brown, orange or red. At dusk, the cloud can appear light blue, and at night, it is usually hard to see untill lightning illuminates it.
