Violet is the visible light color that has the highest energy photons. Ultraviolet and X-rays aren't really "colors", but they have even more energy per photon.
Basically, the energy is proportional to the frequency, so the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.
Violet light.
Blue
Photon energy can be increased by following two methods. 1). by increase in frequency of one photon as (E = hf); where f denotes the frequency of corresponding region. In this case, the electromagnetic region will change to higher frequency region or shorter wavelength region. The photon energy may increase, but not the intensity. 2). secondly increase in the number of photons (n) as E= nhf. If the number of photons of a particular frequency increase, photon energy also increases. In this case, intensity of light of definite frequency (either blue, red etc.) increase simultaneously.
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
A quantum of energy is the most basic unit of energy. According to the quantum theory put forward by German physicist Max Planck in 1900, energy exists as discrete particles called quanta. The energy of a quantum E is given by: E = hf where h is the Planck constant (h = 6.6 x 10-34) and f is the frequency of the radiation.
In case of visible spectrum, violet has got least wavelength and hence highest frequency. The energy of light photon is given by the expression E = h nu where nu is the frequency. Hence violet has got maximum energy per photon. That is why, in case ordinary oven, where we use fire wood, the flame colour would be yellow or orange. That means the heat content will be less. But in case of kerosene stove or gas stove using the proper design of the burner, the colour of the flame would be blue or violet. Hence the heat content becomes more and cooking is done in shorter duration.
All particles which represents a quantum of light and other electromagnetic radiation is called photon. The photons with the highest energies are gamma or X-rays, UV light, Blue light, and radio waves.

A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.
Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.
Theoretically, gamma rays are distinguished by their source, not by the amount of energy each photon carries, so it's not really possible to answer.In practice, most gamma rays have far more energy per photon than visible light.
Black... im not sure why though.
Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.

It goes to entropy. The photon will always exist but it often converts most of its energy to heat.
