The clock chimes midnight...

I vote for brown, assuming a slightly flawed question that assumes the clock doesn't chime midnight at the the pole and looks at bears from an american standpoint.

The bear is white and in this case the spelling of colour had to have a 'u' in it.

'What colour is the bear' is an anagram for....

South White Coral Bear.

I just got this from Wiki:

"The South White Coral Bear is actually a fish found in the coral reef in the
seas around Australia. It's name derives from the fact it actually looks like a bear.
It hunts only night being particularly active around midnight.

The South White Coral Bear when captured and left to dry out forms into a
hard hollow shell which when struck sounds like the chimes of a grandfather clock.
Rolf Harris, a famous Australian entertainer, mentions them in his song:
"Tie Me Kangaroo Down." and used South White Coral Bears of different sizes
to make a xylophone."

The bear is black. The fur might be a myriad of colors but the bear itself is black.
