No. It generally will glow red. Basaltic lava may have a black crust on it and cools into black rock. More felsic lavas may be gray on the surface. Komatiite lava, which has not erupted since the Precambrian Time would have glowed red or yellow when it erupted and then may have taken on a greenish tint when it cooled into rock.

What is destroying the homes in Hawaii?
On the Big Island, it's sometimes lava. Since 1989, Mauna Kea volcano has been erupting pretty continuously, and the lava flow down the hillside has sometimes overrun residential neighborhoods. Fortunately, the lava is fairly dense and slow-moving, so there has been time to pack up and move out of the way. Sometimes, the "pack up" has been fairly significant; entire houses have been jacked up and moved away, and a historic church that was in the path of the lava was similarly lifted off of its foundations and carried out of the lava flow.
