What is the colour of petrol?

According to Petrol Online, a website dedicated to information about petrol, petrol's colour is determined by the refining.

It says:

"An important procedure in petroleum processing is colour measurement. Colour is an indication of type and quality. Within this industry, the colour of petroleum is an important indication of the status of the refining process from its crude state to its deliverables."
