This may mean phosphorus which has a number of allotropes some of which are based on their colour
White phosphorus - P4
red phosphorus - amorphous and three crystalline forms all polymeric in nature
black phosphorus - three forms are known - again polymeric
violet phosphorus (aqlso called Hittorfs phosphorus)
As you can see some of the coloured forms exist in different crystalline forms and therefore colour alone is not a good indication of which allotrope is meant.
The wikipedia artcle is inaccurate- if you can access Greenwood and Earnshaw "Chemistry of the e lements" that has a good write up.
