None (not one) takes a singular verb.

@bigdoggproblem saidAre you comparing the two colors to yourself? Or are you saying, "Those two colors don't look different (from each other) to me."
"Those two colors don't look different to me." ?
The only accepted use of different to is in British English. My post to JS357 referred to American English.
@js357 said"Different than" really grates.
Which is correct, or is another word correct after ‘different’?
"Different from" I would use when comparing a single item to many.
e.g. He felt different from his classmates.
"Different to" I would use when comparing two items.
e.g. The Ferrari is different to the Maserati.
As with all grammar it's only usage that ultimately makes it right or wrong.
@js357 said"None" can be singular or plural depending on context.

"none of them is here" is clearly wrong.

If you were talking about a specific painting then
a colorful painting from my collection, but it is not here.
Your sentence implies you have more than one colourful painting.
