I believe AZRedhawk44 is asking about clarity, not color.
Beer will look a bit less clear in a carboy than in a glass, but it is still easy to estimate clarity by looking at a carboy. There is no straightforward way to get clear beer, because it can be caused by multiple things including suspended yeast or trub or it can be protein. You can reduce the first with extended aging at low temps, but there's no surefire way to ensure clarity, except to filter, which is what the breweries do, but it will probably double your production costs at the homebrew scale. Gelatin finings are pretty magic, but are technically an adulteration. I would try to give up on wanting clear homebrew. In this as in other areas, happiness is easier if you lower your expectations. And there's only a limited number of styles which are supposed to be clear, anyway.
