No. Tornadoes vary in color. The lighting is an important factor. The funnel of a tornado may appear black, gray, or white depending on how it is lit. In a few instances tornadoes have been lit up orange, red, or pink by the setting sun. Additionally, many tornadoes suck up large amounts of soil and may be colored by that. This can turn a tornado black, gray, brown, or red.
