I think it is a
shadow
Hints
I have only one colour, many sizes
A shadow has one colour (black) and only changes its shape and size.
I stay in the sunshine, don't stay in the rain
Only where is light can be shadow.
I don't harm anyone, no one can also harm me
You cant touch a shadow as it is not really something that is there, only the absence of light.

1$\begingroup$ Isn’t this wildly inaccurate though, if we were to bring real world phenomena into this? (I’m not claiming that we should, but from a puzzlologically theoretical viewpoint, we might want to consider it.) Some counterexamples would be stained glass casting a colored shadow, plants dying from lack of light, and it being not at all uncommon to have rain showers while the sun constantly shines. $\endgroup$– BassCommented Dec 18, 2017 at 20:22

$\begingroup$ While that is true I think it is in the quality of the riddle how accurate the answer has to be (also cant demand to be too accurate or you wont solve the riddle). I am just playing the game, I didnt make the rules :) $\endgroup$– TweakimpCommented Dec 18, 2017 at 20:45
