No, there are many hydrocarbons which have colour, other than white or colorless. Examples:
Orange colored
> 9,10-Bis(2-phenylethynyl)anthracene: H5C6-C≡C-C14H8-C≡C-C6H5 : C30H18
> Tetracene: C18H12
> Perylene: H6C7C6C7H6 : C20H12
> Diindeno[1,2,3-cd:1',2',3'-lm]perylene: H8C13C6C13H8 : C32H16
Yellow colored
> 9,10-Diphenylanthracene: H5C6-C14H8-C6H5 : C26H18
> Dibenzo[def,mno]chrysene: C22H12
> 1,2-Dihydroacenaphthylene: C12H10
> Acenaphthylene: C12H8
> Chrysene: C18H12
> Methylcholanthrene: H3C-C20H13 : C21H16
Pinkish Red colored
> 5,6,11,12-Tetraphenyltetracene: H4C4-C36H20-C4H4 : C42H28
etc.

Are all hydrocarbons polar molecules?
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
When is a hydrocarbon molecule classified as an alkyne?
Actually all hydrocarbons are not alkynes, but all alkynes are hydrocarbons. Alkynes contain carbon and hydrogen and hence they are known as hydrocarbons.
What state of matter can hydrocarbons be found?
Hydrocarbons can be found in all states of matter.
Are hydrocarbons poisons?
Yes, many hydrocarbons are toxic or carcinogenic.
What are all the hydrocarbons and their derivatives?
A name to describe all the hydrocarbons and their derivatives is organic chemicals. I presume that's what you need. It would be impossible to list them as there are millions of them.
What is the same about all the compounds in crude oil?
Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers
Why s block elements are colourless?
