DNA itself doesn't have a specific color. It doesn't absorb light in the visible spectrum. However, when you collect and purify a large amount of DNA, it typically appears whitish and somewhat translucent. This is because DNA, when concentrated, reflects light in a way that gives it a whitish appearance.
It's important to note that the color of DNA can be influenced by the way it's prepared and viewed. For example, when DNA is stained with certain dyes, it can appear in different colors for visualization under a microscope.
