For one, a tornado will usually only appear white if front lit.

If back lit a tornado will be blocking more light than it is reflecting from the prespective of the viewer, and so will appear gray or black.

Additionally some tornadoes lift up large quantities of dirt and so take on the color of the soil they are going over whether it is black, gray, brown, red, or sandy.
