It varies depending on where the tornado goes and how strong it is. In addition to dirt even weak tornadoes can pick up pieces of vegetation and any light, loose objects that happen to be in their path. Stronger tornadoes can pick up light vehicles, roofs, and outbuildings. The very strongest tornadoes can lift virtually anything, including whole trees, well-constructed houses, train cars, and even pieces of asphalt.
Tornadoes pick up dust and many other materials. The other materials that a tornado is capable of picking up include trees, power poles, the roofs off of houses, and entire mobile homes.

In the US, dirt is measured in cubic yards. The average full sized pick up truck can usually hold about 2 to 3 cubic yards of dirt or topsoil. It varies a bit depending on the size of the pick-up and how strong its springs are. If you are having it filled for the first time, take it slow and watch how much the truck drops as it is being loaded.

They can pick up endangered animals or plants, and I suppose if a rare jewel was lying around, they could pick it up.
No. Most tornadoes are not strong enough to lift very heavy objects. Very violent tornadoes can pick up structures such as houses and churches but even tornadoes like that only produce such winds along a relatively small portion of the damage path.
Yes. There are two main reasons. First, how a tornado appears depend on how the light hits the tornado. Second, tornadoes often pick up large quantities of dirt, and so take on the color of the soil they are going over. Because of this, tornadoes can appear white, gray, black, brown, and even red.
