In this second paper of a series, we explore the B-V, U-B, and FUV-NUV radialcolor trends from a multi-wavelength sample of 141 dwarf disk galaxies. Likespirals, dwarf galaxies have three types of radial surface brightness profiles:(I) single exponential throughout the observed extent (the minority), (II)down-bending (the majority), and (III) up-bending. We find that colors of (1)Type I dwarfs generally become redder with increasing radius unlike spiralsthat have a blueing trend that flattens beyond ~1.5 disk scale lengths, (2)Type II dwarfs come in six different "flavors," one of which mimics the "U"shape of spirals, and (3) Type III dwarfs have a stretched "S" shape wherecentral colors are flattish, become steeply redder to the surface brightnessbreak, then remain roughly constant beyond, similar to spiral TypeIII colorprofiles, but without the central outward bluing. Faint (-9 > M_B > -14) TypeII dwarfs tend to have continuously red or "U" shaped colors and steeper colorslopes than bright (-14 > M_B > -19) Type II dwarfs, which additionally havecolors that become bluer or remain constant with increasing radius. Sm dwarfsand BCDs tend to have at least some blue and red radial color trend,respectively. Additionally, we determine stellar surface mass density (Sigma)profiles and use them to show that the break in Sigma generally remains in TypeII dwarfs (unlike Type II spirals) but generally disappears in Type III dwarfs(unlike Type III spirals). Moreover, the break in Sigma is strong,intermediate, and weak in faint dwarfs, bright dwarfs, and spirals,respectively, indicating that Sigma may straighten with increasing galaxy mass.Lastly, the average stellar surface mass density at the surface brightnessbreak is roughly 1-2 M_S/pc^2 for Type II dwarfs but higher at 5.9 M_S/pc^2 or27 M_S/pc^2 for Type III BCDs and dIms, respectively.
