Although it sounds weird because if you say "this" generally you'd be looking at it so you'd know what color it is.

@HelenaJ71 thank you for letting me know.
I wanna ask this question to my kids when we're looking some car or something.

That works! Or you could just point and say, 'What color is that?"

@HelenaJ71 It works! But 3 of them I made for example are not correct?
English (US)
Of the three, "What is this car's color?" is the only one that sounds like something someone would actually say, though it's a bit stiff. "What's color of this car?" sounds okay if you add a "the"--> "What's the color of this car?" (Why, I don't know. English is weird.) "What color of this car is it?" is definitely wrong.

@HelenaJ71 자세한 답변 감사합니다! I'm working at daycare centre. So sometimes I confuse what I need to say to kids.

That's great! I think in a daycare setting it's common to just point to something and say "What color is the _____?" (or use "this" if there's more than one and you're pointing to one of them.)

@HelenaJ71 That way is simple and easy to memorize.
So I can say "What color is your jacket?", "What color is the fire truck?" Or "What color is this?" pointing
