True, but a childish intuition about "having a color" would most likely imply that you can see a structure of the thing (like a ball) that is colored in (which you can't with atoms). On the other hand if you consider an atom a tiny pointsource, like a star in the sky, then it makes sense again.

Instead of comparing it to a ball with colour on it, you could compare it to a ball of colour. Which atoms are.

No they aren't. Atoms don't have a 'texture' or surface.
