The question is meaningless; 'scale' and 'models' are human inventions. Nothing in nature 'scales'. Therefore we cannot ask how scale affects colour; it does whatever we decide.
The (usual) purpose of modelling is to produce an object that looks like an original, while being smaller. This requires placing the model closer, by the scale factor, to the eye.
Light disperses according to an inverse-square law; and the area subtended by a solid angle increases by the same law. These two factors cancel out, and therefore - to a first approximation - scale should have no effect at all upon colour.
