Correct!

First the hunter walks 1km south, but then when he runs 1 km east, this would just take him around in a little arc (of radius 1km) around the North pole. Finally he just needs to walk 1km north to bring him back to the north pole again!

Therefore the bear must be a polar bear - so it's white!

Nice one!

Green - the hunter was hallucinating, and I like the colour green.

Now, now. Mouldy ursines have no place in polite company. However, I suppose that that is not the particular hue you have in mind, nor would I consider this company particularly polite 🙂
