If you mean a dust devil, then technically yes. Though they aren't really tornadoes, dust devils have killed people. However, fatalities from dust devils are extremely rare, only a handful have ever been recorded. Most of the time dust devils are harmless.

Does the color of a tornado depend on the color of the dirt it picks up?

Partially. The color of a tornado can be affected by the color of the dirt it picks up as well as how it is lit. The funnel of a tornado is condensation just like in ordinary clouds and may appear black, gray, or white depending on how it is lit. The soil of an area can color a tornado as well if enough of it is lifted into the air, but lighting still remains a factor even when dirt completely obscures the funnel. A tornado will appear lighter when lit from the front than when lit from behind.
