It's not really necessary to watch the colour of orchid roots. It's mainly just necessary to provide the orchid with suitable conditions for them to grow properly.
Depending on the local environmental conditions (of the growing area) ----- it is sometimes necessary to compensate for conditions that the background environment can't properly provide, such as moisture or adequate humidity for the roots.
This is why some people put their orchid roots into a pot, with suitable growing media - such as rocks or bark etc.
And assuming temperature and lighting conditions are good ----- the rest of the effort will generally be down to making sure the roots are getting adequate humidity and/or moisture without drowning the roots.
