The clock chimes midnight...

what about in winter?

the north pole has a heck of a long night then.

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.

How does a clock know when to chime at midnight?
Does the clock have a light sensor or what?

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.

The bear is pink. The skin might be black but the bear itself is pink. 😛
