so if I cast Chrome Mox and let’s say I imprint Noble Hierarch will I be able to tap the mox for any of the colors the noble hierarchcan make or only green??
If the mox is destroyed what happens to the card imprinted?

Noble Hierarch's color is green, and only green, so imprinting it on Chrome Mox will only allow it to produce green mana. You might be confused with the concept of color identity used in Commander and Brawl, which only pertains to these formats' deckbuilding's constraints, and nothing else. While playing, a card's color is defined by its mana cost, or its color indicator (small circle next to the type line), possibly superceded by the effects of abilities and spells.
If the Mox is destroyed, the card imprinted simply remains exiled.
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
I intended my "possibly superceded by the effects of abilities" to include those, but it is indeed worth distinguishing them as they matter for Chrome Mox while non-CDAs wouldn't, thank you.
EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, some non-CDAs such as Painter's Servant's can matter for Chrome Mox, as long as they affect cards in exile.

So my question is on imprint.

Nitpick:
Or it's color defining CDA, of which there are currently exactly two such cards. (Transguild Courier & Sphinx of the Guildpact)
