Answer
Black
Jaabir ibn Abdullah [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] entered on the day of Fath-Makkah whilst wearing a black Turban. (Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasaaie, ibn Majah)
Yellow
Ibn Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] used to dye all his clothes with yellow, even his turban. (Sunan Abi Dawud)
Red
Anas ibn Maalik [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates seeing Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] making Wudhu whilst wearing a Turban that had red colour on it. (Sunan Abi Dawud; Mustadrak al-Haakim)
White
Ibn Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] tied a white turban for Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Awf [radhiallaahu anhu]. (Mustadrak al-Haakim)
Green
Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] never wore a green turban. (Sha-aabeeba al-Ghamaama fiy Tahqeeq Mas-alah al-Imaamah pg.59; Basaair)
However, some Sahaaba [radhiallaahu anhum] have worn the green turban. (Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah).
