Well that is kind of a loaded question. Lice can really be many colors however an adult bug is normally dark colored, but can kind of morph into and do a color change to blend in well with your hair. The same goes for the color of the lice egg. We have seen all kinds of colors of lice eggs.
Puce literally means flea. It is speculated that it refers to the colour of a squashed flea or the colour of a flea full of blood. Another theory is that the colour name comes from the flea's droppings of digested blood, which spread out in deep red stain when water contacts them. Brownish-purple to dark brown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puce.
