Violet
Reply:Photons are photons regardless of color, and move at the same velocity. The only difference is the rate of reflection or absorption as in; black will absorb more ultra-violet and white will reflect it. It is possible in a lab to slow down photons, but you cannot accelerate a photon faster that 186,000 miles per second.
