It depends on the light source (or lack thereof)

Therefore even in the darkness of the deepest treasury the Silmarils of their own radiance shone like the stars of Varda; and yet, as were they indeed living things, they rejoiced in light and received it and gave it back in hues more marvellous than before
So in daylight and "out and about", the gems must have been very vividly colored.
I imagine it possible to envision the 3 Simarils to have three different colors in their final resting place:
And thus it came to pass that the Silmarils found their long homes: one in the airs of heaven, and one in the fires of the heart of the world, and one in the deep waters
That would certainly make Maedhros' stone red in the end. We could then be romantic and say that the one in the heavens was blue like the sky and the one in the sea was ?green?, though blue seems better for that one too. But really, the one in heaven would be shining with its own light in the nighttime sky, while the one in the sea probably the same in the dark, dark sea.

The Silmaril she bound on him and crowned him with the living light, . . -From Bilbo’s song at Rivendell. This would seem to mean that they glowed of their own light from within. Their light in origin came from the light of the Two Trees (golden & silver) and would of their own appear golden/silver in color. But I see no reason they would not reflect the light of other lights and appear occasionally to be of various colors depending on the light source as Notta suggests.

Why I figured that was enough for the first thing I saw several pictures and I do not like to think of three shiny gems I demand enough to think a red glowing green brilliant and a blue shining gem. I guess it can be as Maedhros went red in the light of the flames and Maglors turned blue in the light of the water waves and in light of the sky and whales and the trees became the simaril Eärendil stole green.

There is no particular reason to assign a particular colour to each silmaril. Eärendil's silmaril, the light of which is captured in Galadriel's waters, and which we see as the evening and morning star, quite evidently casts light of a pure white.

and like the "fire" of diamonds, they probably refracted back all colours of the spectrum, despite being "white" themselves.
