Sulfate precipitates can vary in color depending on the specific sulfate compound formed. Common sulfate precipitates and their colors include:
Barium sulfate (BaSO₄): White

In most cases, sulfate precipitates are white, but the actual color can depend on the metal ion combined with the sulfate ion.
