Red: Serratia marcescens
Brown: Rhizobium etli
Black: Prevotela melaninogenica
Golden: Staphylococcus aureus
Silver: Actinomyces sp.
White: Staphyloccus epidermidis
Cream: Proteus vulgaris
Pink: Micrococcus roseus
Maroon: Rugamonas rubra
Fluorescent Blue or Green: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Florescent Yellow: Pseudomonas fluorescens

The entire (story here) is helpful in understanding this.
Also under Diseases:
Some carotenoids are produced by bacteria to protect themselves from oxidative immune attack.
The golden pigment that gives some strains of S. aureus their name (aureusis = golden) is a carotenoid called staphyloxanthin.
This carotenoid is a virulence factor with an antioxidant action that helps the microbe evade death by reactive oxygen species used by the host immune system.
Purple sulfur bacteria: Chromatium vinosum, Thiospirillum jenense, Thiopedia rosea.
The purple sulfur bacteria are classified among the Gamma Proteobacteria, a class that
also includes Pseudomonas and E. coli.
These bacteria conduct anoxygenic photosynthesis, also called bacterial photosynthesis.
Bacterial photosynthesis differs from plant-type (oxygenic) photosynthesis in several ways.
