What color vs Which color

What color do you like? vs Which color do you like?
"What color do you like?" means in general which color do you like amongst all the available colors in the world. In this case, no particular set of colors are offered to choose from.
Whereas, in "which color do you like?" A particular set of colors is given to select from.
For example:-
Among blue, green and yellow, which color do you like?
If you like, then the answer could be any one or two or all the above three mentioned colors in the question;
Examples:-
I like green.
I like yellow and green.
I like green, yellow and blue. Or I like all of them.
If you don't like any of the above then the reply could be "none of them".
Example:-
I like none of them.
