Depends on who manufactured, where they were produced, and the specs.

They are different colours for ease of use when constructing the motherboard so they can just pick up a certain colour instead of reading each individual capacitance. Its down to the mobo manufacturers processes of manufacturing but usually the colours dont represent anything unlike resistors
