The color of volcanic ash can vary around the world, but where I live, the ash from Mt Saint Helens eruption and from Mt Mazuma (Crater Lake) eruption 10,000 years ago is light gray. You can find both buried as layers in the soil here in north Idaho.
volcanos are ussually either brown, like dirt, or white like snow.
Black with lava, sometimes... or an old volcano can be snowy
Since it is mafic in composition red/orange when hot, and usually black when cooled. However, after cooling iron in the rock may turn red.
Volcanic rocks vary widley in color. They may be gray, white, black, brown, or red. The most common igneous rock is basalt, which is usually black but can turn red or brown with weathering.

Pyroclastic flows don't come from shield volcanoes. They come from cinder cone and sometimes composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes only erupt runny lava.
The Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes as they are broadly-sloping and composed of layers formed by basaltic lava flows.
Shield volcanoes produce low-silica lava.
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
Shield volcanoes are in the shape of a shield. Hence, the name shield volcano! Shield volcanoes are tall and broad with flat rounded shapes. They have low slpes and almost always have large craters. Shield volcanoes form from eruptions of flowing lava. THe lava spreads out and builds up volcanoes with broad, gently, sloping sides. One example of a shield volcano is the Hawaiian Islands.

Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes
No. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes composed almost entirely of cooled lava flows.
No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.
Three landforms that can be created from ash are cinder cone volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and shield volcanoes. Lava plateaus can also be formed.
No, shield volcanoes are characterized by lava with a low silica content. Consequently, the principal hazard of the volcano is the lava flow rather than the eruption itself.
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
