The question for asking colors is constructed similar to the way it's done in English:
    Eng: What color is XXX?
    Tr: XXX ne renk? (Here, ne is what and renk is color)
The answer is also simple:
    Eng: XXX is red.
    Tr: XXX kırmızı.
However, note the difference in word ordering when you want to add a color (or any adjective) to an indefinite noun.
    Eng: A red XXX.
    Tr: Kırmızı bir XXX. (Not 'Bir kırmızı XXX')
Now, try to understand the following sentences.
    - Bu araba açık mavi.
    - Evim koyu kırmızı.
    - Gözlerin ne renk?
    - Beyaz bir gömlek aldım.
