Why is it masculine?
Color is masculine in Spanish because it derives from Latin *color* (nominative), which was masculine in the second declension, and this grammatical gender was preserved through the Romance language evolution. The Latin root itself likely comes from an Indo-European base related to covering or concealing, though the gender assignment appears to be a matter of Latin grammar convention rather than semantic motivation.
