Can colorless mana be generated from things that say "Add one mana of any color to your mana pool"?

One example card would be Coalition Relic.

Reasons:

  • For example for sunburst spells, when the caster wants less of the sunburst effect, for whatever reason.
  • You need to win the game with Scrapyard Salvo this turn, but you're one artifact in your graveyard short - casting a Sunburst creature as a 0/0 could be your only out

    In what circumstance are you envisaging that it would matter for your mana to be specifically colourless, out of interest?

  • If you can get Sunburst at all, can't you just use your "add one mana of any colour" ability to add a colour you've already used? Genuinely curious and not dissing the original question - Magic is the sort of game where there must be a corner case where it'd be better for your mana to be colourless, I just couldn't think of one off the top of my head.

    Let's suppose you need to win the game with Scrapyard Salvo this turn, but you're one artifact in your graveyard short - casting a Sunburst creature as a 0/0 could be your only out. Tortuous! But possible.

    @thesunneversets, However, this question is still relevant to non-EDH decks as well.

No, it cannot.

105.4. If a player is asked to choose a color, he or she must choose one of the five colors. "Multicolored" is not a color. Neither is "colorless."
