Color

What color is clear? When something is clear, it is whatever color the thing behind it is, but, if you imagine that nothing is behind it, what would it look like? It couldn't be white or black, because that isn't clear, that would be white or black.

Haven't you answered your own question? Something that is clear just isn't any color, any more than the air is some color (usually!).
