Q3: Color Your World quest is locked to.

1. Did you take the quest with another job?

2. There is a limit of 5 or 6 (can’t exactly remember) to be shown on “short listed” at a time, you can use that yellow square on the right of the quest in the journal to prioritise it and it show show on the map

3. I don’t get what it mean

When quests are red and locked to you, that means that you do not fulfill some requirement for that quest. Could be that you are the wrong class, or too low level, or don't have a required item, or haven't done some required action.
Try picking it up, and it should say what requirement is missing.

For that quest, you should have a specific gear to equip and you need to talk to people, while wearing it. Check your armory.
Read the quest again.

For leavequests you need to initiate the mission once you are in the proper area.
Check on your map for some green circle with the name of the related quest.
Once in, click on the related quest and initiate.

If the quest is locked - check out the objective of the quest :')
For this one you need to buy a bottle of orange juice and deliver it to the NPC. So it will be locked until you buy the juice.
Merchant that sells it is near the quest NPC location at the Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan.

The answer to all three of these questions is right there in the quest objective. If it tells you that you have to be dressed in a weathered shepherd's tunic and a pair of weathered shepherd's slops for the next step, then try putting on the weathered shepherd's tunic and weathered shepherd's slops you were just given for that purpose. If it tells you you need to complete a leve quest, then do that leve first. If it tells you to deliver a bottle of orange juice, then you need a bottle of orange juice.

It will always tell you what requirement(s) you're missing if it's a new quest you're trying to pick up which is locked. If, as in these cases, it's an ongoing quest that you're trying to advance, then it may or may not be that direct, but talking to the NPC will generally at least give you an extra clue about how to proceed

For instance, if you talk to Swyrgeim when on the "deliver a bottle of orange juice" objective of Color Your World, she'll point out that the merchant right there in Vesper Bay sells it. The game doesn't actually care whether that's where you get it from or not (which is why there isn't an intermediate objective/destination there). There's several merchants who sell it, or if you're a culinarian you could make it yourself. But she points out the quickest and easiest source.

Ill post a short answer here to highlight something Misutoraru mentioned. So anytime you have an issue with the map not showing your quests thats either because the quest isnt on your quest tracker or you arent in the right area. Your quest tracker has space for 5 quests, and is typically auto-populated by the most recent 5 you picked up. If you want to manually switch which quests are being tracked(say, to put the objectives for some quest you cant find on your map) then open your quest journal and click the yellow box next to the quest and it will force its way into the 5 being tracked(theres also an option to force a quest not to track, in case you dont want to see objectives or maybe save it for later). In addition, in your quest journal each quest has a map button attached to it. Pressing that will give you a general idea of where you need to be(especially useful if youre no where near an objective - if youre more then 1 zone away the tracker wont have any marks on the current zone map for you to follow).

There's a few exceptions, where your quest's next objective doesn't have a location. Like if the objective for one quest is to complete another quest, you have to look at that second one to find where to go. (The OP has a few examples of that. If there's a quest telling you to do a leve, it's the leve itself that you want in your quest tracker, rather than the initiating quest.)

There are also a few quests that do not provide any quest markers or similar help at all. They tend to be some type of puzzle quests, and you are always clearly told when you pick them up that the game won't give you any help.
