Only some salts have hydrates, not all. These salts contain in the formula water of crystallization.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is not a hydrated salt.
A hydrated salt has a number of waters of hydration combined to each molecule of salt whereas an anhydrous salt is one that has had its waters of hydration removed. An example of a hydrated salt is nickel sulfate hexahydrate, NiSO4·6H2O. The waters of hydration can be removed by a simple heating, resulting in NiSO4(s) + 6H2O(g).
Efflorescence and deposition of salts both involve the movement of dissolved salts to the surface of a material where they form solid crystals. Efflorescence occurs when the salts are brought to the surface through evaporation of water, while deposition of salts happens when the salts are pushed to the surface through capillary action or other mechanisms. Both processes can be unsightly and can cause damage to the material over time.
Hydrated salts appear dry because they have incorporated water molecules within their crystal lattice structure. This water is not easily visible on the surface of the salt, giving the appearance of dryness. However, if the hydrated salt is heated or exposed to low humidity conditions, the water molecules can be released, causing the salt to become visibly wet.
These salts are called nitrates.

A hydrated salt contain water of crystallization.
You might be thinking of hydrated salts. Examples include hydrated Copper Sulfate (CuSO4 . 5H2O)
No, only some salts change the color after dehydration.
probably hydrated beryllium salts like BeCl2.H20

When an anhydrous salt retain water in the crystalline structure.
Anhydrous salts prepared by evaporating the water contained in a hydrated salt. However, anhydrous salts are non-electrolytes, meaning they can't pass an electric current.

Examples: MgSO4.2H2O, UO2(NO3)2.6H2O, NaCl.2H2O etc.
