Do any of these make sense grammatically? I’m trying to say “various colors” for a fake anime title:
•色々のコラー (maybe な or と for the particle)
•色々の色 (again, な or と for the particle)
•色々色
Please help 
If I’m way off base, I would love to hear the right way to say it (or at least most common way if multiple ways are technically “right”).
There’s a twitter account named “色々色 (@variouscolor6)”, so that one doesn’t seem to be wrong at least.
I think 色々色 should work, sounds funny though. 
色々 is an な adjective, so it would be 色々な色…
Jisho has 色色 as “various colours” actually…
Yes, but as “archaism” - meaning it was used that way in the past but usually not anymore.
I never said I would use it like that, just an interesting point.
Back to the question at hand, I think how you say it is going to depend on the context.
さまざまな色
could also work
Just wanted to point that out 
Plus, if you google for it, you’ll find plenty of results for “色々色” in pages like wikis and such, so it seems to be commonly used without the “な”.
I asked my girlfriend what she thinks and 色々色 is pretty hard to understand.
She’s Japanese so I would hope she has a fair grasp of the language.
As an な adjective, I have to say I’ve only mainly seen it used without a particle for verbs; I think a lot of the time particles can be optional, but not so much for な adjectives.
Kind of like 静か部屋 just sounds a little bit funny instead of 静かな部屋.
It’s most likely a word play, but it’s not grammatically correct. For an anime title I think it could work though.
Yeah! I liked that it was “色” 3 times since this fake anime is about 3 girls who are color coded lol
What would you recommend writing it like?? Since 色々色 is weird?
Wife just threw out 多色 and 多彩.
Thanks! 
By the way, “color” in katakana would be カラー not コラー.
You could also use
いろんな色
or
色んな色
I think.
Since it’s a manga you could get away with 色々色 or 色色色 probably.
