The bubbles are an extremely thin film of water, The pigment in the water would have to be very concentrated in order for it to be visible in this very thin film.





Bubbles made with a solution of potassium permanganate will be visibly purple.





And by the way, bubbles are not white, they are colorless. A piece of paper is white, something without color is colorless.





In chemistry we describe pure water as being clear and colorless, not white.



It gets diluted down a few thousand times before it makes those bubbles. The coloring is only a tiny part of the mixture used to make your bubble bath.





If you make bubbles with two different colors of bubble bath (really different like cherry red and white) and put them side by side a good eye can notice the difference but it's so slight you have to be really used to comparing colors and looking for that sort of thing.
its not the buble or the gas that is white it is the edge of the buble if alot of bubles are colecting and they are very small the appear wite because the edge of all of the bubles is more than the bubles
The gas trapped within the bubble remains the same for all bubble baths. Since air is colorless, the air you see in the bubble would be colorless.
