It doesn't matter that much. White is the traditional color, but some beekeepers paint them in different colors. This helps the bees return to the correct hive if several hives are close together.

It is better to keep to light colors because in hot weather a hive painted a dark color will easily become too hot for the bees.

(Most) yellow flowers are pollinated by flies. You will notice that most yellow flowers do not have a scent - something that bees also like.

Bees are attracted to bright colors like red, orange, yellow, etc. They are attracted to these colors because these are the colors of many flowers.
