The visible funnel of a tornado is composed of water droplets like an ordinary cloud, and so usually is the same color as the clouds that it extends from.

Not all tornadoes are gray, however. Depending on lighting some may appear white or black. Tornadoes can also be colored by soil that they lift and become gray, black, brown, tan, or even red.

Is it possible to have 2 tornadoes at the same time?

There are different ways this can happen. Tornadoes often occur in outbreaks where several tornado producing thunderstorms can be active at the same time, as weather conditions are favorable for such storms to occur. What is happening in one storm does not necessarily affect another occurring at the same time, so there can be several tornadoes on the ground at once. These thunderstorms often produce tornadoes in succession in what is called a tornado family. In such cases a second tornado may form before the first one dissipates and the two can be seen together. Yet another phenomenon can occur when a large tornado spawns a smaller satellite tornado the circles it. In some cases the air movements inside a thunderstorm can become quite complex, and may produce several tornadoes at once rather than just one.Another phenomenon that can occur in some tornadoes, especially strong ones, is often mistaken for multiple tornadoes. Some tornadoes have multiple smaller vortices inside the main circulation. Under the right conditions this can lead to a single tornado having multiple funnels. This can make it look like one tornado is actually several.

I'd be wary about pairing the grey suit with black-on-black, a combo that I usually favor. Black and green (or grey and green, for that matter) work perfectly well together. Black and grey usually look good with anything, actually. Good Luck!
