"As water vapor transfers heat to ice cubes, it forms clear droplets outside the plastic wrap."

Reason: condensation is the change from gas to liquid and releases heat to a cooler surface — the vapor loses (transfers) heat to the ice and becomes liquid (clear) droplets on the cold side. Statements saying the vapor "gains heat" describe the opposite process (evaporation), and "colored" or "inside" are not consistent with simple condensation in this setup.
