No, there are many hydrocarbons which have colour, other than white or colorless. Examples:
Orange colored
> 9,10-Bis(2-phenylethynyl)anthracene: H5C6-C≡C-C14H8-C≡C-C6H5 : C30H18
> Tetracene: C18H12
> Perylene: H6C7C6C7H6 : C20H12
> Diindeno[1,2,3-cd:1',2',3'-lm]perylene: H8C13C6C13H8 : C32H16
Yellow colored
> 9,10-Diphenylanthracene: H5C6-C14H8-C6H5 : C26H18
> Dibenzo[def,mno]chrysene: C22H12
> 1,2-Dihydroacenaphthylene: C12H10
> Acenaphthylene: C12H8
> Chrysene: C18H12
> Methylcholanthrene: H3C-C20H13 : C21H16
Pinkish Red colored
> 5,6,11,12-Tetraphenyltetracene: H4C4-C36H20-C4H4 : C42H28
etc.
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
Actually all hydrocarbons are not alkynes, but all alkynes are hydrocarbons. Alkynes contain carbon and hydrogen and hence they are known as hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons can be found in all states of matter.
Yes, many hydrocarbons are toxic or carcinogenic.
A name to describe all the hydrocarbons and their derivatives is organic chemicals. I presume that's what you need. It would be impossible to list them as there are millions of them.
Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers
Almost all of the principal gases in the atmosphere are colourless. Hence we see the air as colourless.

Raw diamonds come in all the colours imaginable -- from 'white' or 'colourless' -- which has its own range of colours, to diamonds in all the colours and intensity of colour, of the rainbow. You can read more, below.
Hydrocarbons are available in all forms.
1.The first four (i.e. c1 to c4) members of alkanes are gases,c5 to c17 are all colourless liquids, and higher than c17 are all colourless solids . 2. They are insoluble in water but soluble in organic compounds. 3. They are lighter than water (less dense) and float on it. 4. They are bad conductors of heat and electricity.
White refers to a color made up of all the wavelengths of visible light, while colorless means lacking any color at all. White is a specific hue, while colorless is the absence of hue. White objects reflect all wavelengths of light, while colorless objects do not reflect any visible light.
This statement is not accurate. While some hydrocarbons do have ring-shaped molecules (such as cycloalkanes and aromatics like benzene), not all hydrocarbons have this structure. Hydrocarbons can exist in various forms including linear chains and branched structures.
