As the subject states, I am wondering if lands are the color depending on what mana color they make?

Ex: Swamps are black.

No. Lands are colorless unless something like Painter's Servant makes them a certain color. Even if a land happens to be Black...it doesn't allow it to tap for Black mana.

This is a much different story when things are a basic land type. If a land has a basic land type...then it produces that mana. For example. When Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is in play...it turns all lands into Swamps in addition to their normal type. Because each of your lands are Swamps...they all tap for Black mana. Does this make sense?

That was a good answer, but I think for simplicity of his question and not confusing him, I would of just said no.  smiley

Lands are colorless and do not count as colored permanents. EX. Crowd of Cinders, lands do not count as a lack permanent in this situation. to answer you're question lands are colorless permanents.
