  1. By "it jumps", I think it is a species of jumping spider (family Salticidae).  However, there are over 5,000 species of jumping spider, and the color could be unique to the species.  

    You can read more about them here;

    Take a look at the pictures and see if that fits the general body plan of the spider you saw.
