D&D 5E Adventures in the Forgotten Realms MtG set Planeswalkers confirmed.

It occurs to me that 4e's concept of power sources fits neatly with MtGs colour pie. Divine Magic = White, Shadow Magic = Black, Psion Magic = Blue, Elemental Magic = Red, Primal Magic = Green, Arcane = Colourless.

No, Arcane is Blue Magic: the iconic Blue Class in Magic is the Wizard.

Hence why I linked it to colourless, its not primary in any colour.

No magical source is primary in any one color. Commune would be blue. Control Water would be blue. Flamestrike would be red. Contagion would be black. For arcane Fireball is red. Light would be white. Mirror Image would be blue. Divine, arcane and even psionic power would have all colors, depending on what the focus of the spell/ability is.

The classes would have colors based on their focus. A cleric of Cyric would be black. A Cleric of Oghma would be blue. A cleric of Tyr would be white. A cleric of Chauntea would be green. Necromancers black. Diviners blue. And so on.

Its a general concept.

I think that’s the thrust of the argument for Arcane being colorless - it’s kind of a nonspecific catch-all for magic that isn’t divine, primal, shadow, or psionic (“elemental” wasn’t a power source in 4e though). Characters who use it run the gamut of colors.

I think that it being so much catch-all prevents it from having a meaningful coding to a color. What is more, colorless has a higher meaning of lack of intentional lack of alegiance or even of being an aberration to nature and what we know. The far realm is colorless, and that is scary.

One with so many exceptions and corner cases that is basically useless to make predictions?

Its a general concept.

We've already seen clerics and wizards of multiple different colors in Magic. The same with clerical power(divine) and wizardry and mental powers(arcane and psionic). The precedent is there. Why would they make it different for this set?

Well, yes, colorless-specific costs have the meaning of being an aberration to nature, or to be more precise, they’re associated with Kozilek. But colorless as in mana of no specific color has no such connotations.
