Perhaps not in a second, but a tornado with a strong enough updraft can change its apparent color very quickly. If a tornado moves over an area of loose soil it can lift that soil into the air and take on its color. A change in humidity or rapid intensification of a tornado can also cause a funnel to develop in a matter of seconds.

What cause a tornado to change color?

A tornado may change color as its position relative to the source of light changes. It will appear darker if it moves between you and the light, and light if it moves to the opposite side of you from the light. A tornado may also get its color from soil it is sucking up. If it starts or stops picking up large amounts of soil or if the soil color changes, then the tornado may change color as well.
