How to give each point its own color in ThreeJS

I am using ThreeJS to create a point cloud. I would like to givee each point in the cloud a specific color based on its location. How can I assign a specific color to each vertice in the geometry and change the color of the vertice whenever necessary?
geometry = new THREE.Geometry();
for (i = 0; i < particleCount; i++) {
var vertex = new THREE.Vector3();
vertex.x = Math.random() * 2000 - 1000;
vertex.y = Math.random() * 2000 - 1000;
vertex.z = Math.random() * 2000 - 1000;
geometry.vertices.push(vertex);
}
colors = [0xff0000, 0x0000FF, 0x00FF00, 0x000000]
size = 0.5
material = new THREE.PointsMaterial({
size: size,
color: colors[0]
});
particles = new THREE.Points(geometry, material);
scene.add(particles);

Starting with r125, THREE.Geometry is deprecated and no part of the core anymore. It is highly recommended to work with THREE.BufferGeometry.
You can apply a color per vertex by adding an additional buffer attribute holding vertex colors. You also have to set the material property vertexColors to true.

Clickable Three JS Convex Objects (once clicked reveals image)

I adjusted an example from the three js website.
I'm looking for making the small floating objects have a click event.
The click event would trigger an image or video revealed on the larger convex shape in the center

The normal way of doing this is using a THREE.Raycaster and THREE.Projector to cast a ray from the camera through space, then finding if an object intersects with this ray.
See this example: http://soledadpenades.com/articles/three-js-tutorials/object-picking/
Thankfully, others have implemented libraries such as ObjectControls: https://github.com/cabbibo/ObjectControls
This allows you to directly attach hover or select events to meshes and it will just work.

CreateMultiMaterialObject method creates an object3D, so when you click, it is necessary to specify the second parameter (recursion) = true:
var intersects = raycaster.intersectObjects( objects, true );
if ( intersects.length > 0 ) {
intersects[ 0 ].object.material.color.setHex( Math.random() * 0xffffff );
}

Raycasting and container in Three.js

I have been struggling with issues concerning raycasting on small circlegeometries on a sphere.
I know raycasting can't be done with sprites and this is why I use circlegeometries, but it doesn't work all the time, and moreover the raycasting doesn't always work on circles but sometimes around them as well.
Does anybody have an idea ? Here is a JSBin to show you basically
Edit :
I updated my previous version of JSBin, you can click any circleGeometries it will work here, run it with output tab only open for better results
This is related to the renderer width and height properties, my sphere isn't in fullscreen and this is why it fails.
Does anybody have an idea on how to set up it right in order to get this to work perfectly ?

The formula used to compute intersections wasn't the good one, here is the one that works :
mouse.x = ( ( event.clientX - renderer.domElement.offsetLeft ) / renderer.domElement.width ) * 2 - 1;
mouse.y = - ( ( event.clientY - renderer.domElement.offsetTop ) / renderer.domElement.height ) * 2 + 1;
mouse x and y have slightly changed from the examples you can get, and are now fine.
var vector = new THREE.Vector3(mouse.x, mouse.y, 0.5);
projector.unprojectVector(vector, camera);
var ray = new THREE.Raycaster(camera.position, vector.sub(
camera.position).normalize());
var intersects = ray.intersectObjects(objects);
if ( intersects.length > 0 ) {
//do something
}

How to click and slide into three js cube?

i have this code which works nice and i want to add a situation that when i click on the red cube all the page "jump" closer to the cube. (maybe the camera ?).
i do not have any idea and i will hope you can help me.
In general, i want to learn how to click in one object in three js and move into a second object in my page.
this is my code :

waiting for your replay,
thanks :)

You need to implement different and separated parts to do this:
Selecting an object can be done by using a Raycaster, you'll find many examples here on SO and in the three.js examples such as this one
Orienting the camera - see camera.lookAt( target.position ) - and zooming can be done in many ways, but you might want to use a kind of Control to ease the camera placement process, such as one of these. The TrackballControls for example seems appropriate.
One last bit, as your title says "sliding", is how the "camera jump" is done. If you want a smooth zoom, you'll need a kind of easing function. Have a look on Tween.js for this.

vincent wrote an excellent answer. I just want to add an example to help to understand.

How can I make my text labels face the camera at all times? Perhaps using sprites?

I'm looking at two examples, one is canvas interactive objects and the other is mouse tooltip. I tried combining the two to generate text labels on each individual cube and here's what I have so far.
However, the text moves with the rotating cubes and the text appears backwards or sideways at times.
How can I make the text fixed in a sprite like in the mouse tooltip (http://stemkoski.github.io/Three.js/Mouse-Tooltip.html) example? I tried to incorporate the sprite but I kept getting errors. I'm not sure how to do it. Could you explain how I can go by it?
Thanks.

Billboarding is easy. All you have to do, in your case, is add this inside your render loop:
if ( currentLabel ) currentLabel.lookAt( camera.position );
