Anyone know what colour AC reridgerant is, assuming no dye?

I don't think it has a colour, hence why it's necessary to add a dye to detect leaks.  :-\

Yep. Think it's clear, briefly, until it evaporates before your eyes.

If not under pressure, would it still evaporate?

Yep, it needs to be in an airtight system to prevent it evaporating.  :y
