Colore is masculine :) "il colore azzurro", "i colori azzurri". Words ending in -e in the singular are gender invariant and end in -i in the plural. Also, not all colors change: "il colore rosa", "i colori rosa".

Could one not also say "celeste" instead of "azzurro"? (i.e., a paler blue)

@jvitti624 Yes, you can. I don't know whether DL knows the word "celeste". For him everything is "azzurro". Blue is "blu", not "azzurro". If you see something really blue (dark blue), it's not possible to say "azzurro", it's "blu" or "blu scuro" (blue or dark blue).
