Do you know how to apply colours to objects in Illustrator?

Your question was quite specific so I assumed you were not a complete beginner.

Or use an Ellipse, change the Pie angle to 90 degrees, add additional fills and rotate them with the Transform Effect.

Use Live Paint instead of pathfinder.

It's editable and on top of that the process is far more fluent.

You could also use the Pie Graph Tool.

Draw lines horizontally and vertically through the circle's centre, select everything and click Divide.

Using the pen tool right? How do I give different colours for each part?
