it can be white or gray but the word is STREAK

Pumice, being a rock composed of possibly a number of various minerals, does not have a streak color as such. Powdered pumice would reflect a combination of the streaks of the constituent minerals.
Either powdered magnesium metal or powdered aluminum metal, or a mix of both.
The powdered form of a mineral is called a mineral powder. It is created by crushing and grinding a mineral into fine particles. Mineral powders are commonly used in various industries like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.
Streak

The color of a mineral in powdered form is called the mineral's Streak
The streak test involves studying the color of the powdered form of a mineral. This is typically done by rubbing the mineral against an unglazed porcelain tile to see the color of the streak left behind. This test can help identify minerals with different colors in their powdered form compared to their natural form.

Streak is the property of a mineral that is determined by rubbing the mineral on a special plate to reveal the color of its powdered form. This can help identify minerals because a mineral's streak color is often different from its external color.
Streak refers to the color of a mineral in powder form.
Different powdered minerals have different colors. Yellow minerals include millerite and colusite. Blue minerals include aubertite and borax. Green minerals include zircon and duggenite. Reds include cuprite and spiroffite. Minerals come in many different shades.
1. Minerals don't (or at least don't usually) have "powders" inside them. They can BE powdered, but they don't generally contain powder.2. The color of a powdered mineral is usually at least somewhat like its color before being powdered (though generally of a more pastel shade).3. The color of a mineral depends on what it is; specifically, many minerals get their characteristic colors from transition metal ions, and the color of a transition metal ion depends on a) what transition metal and b) what its oxidation state is.
Many minerals have similar color, and mineral color can be altered by trace amounts of impurities or by weathering. A better indicator would be the mineral's streak, which is the color of the mineral when powdered, although this characteristic can't be used alone in mineral identification.

Powdered minerals can come in a variety of colors depending on the specific mineral. Common colors include white, gray, brown, pink, blue, green, and black.
The four properties of minerals are color, streak, hardness, and luster. Color refers to the outward appearance, streak is the color of a mineral when it's powdered, hardness is the resistance to scratching, and luster describes the way light reflects off the surface of a mineral.
