Because it’s travelling backwards in time. That’s why it appears in black and white. You’re only seeing the past version of it.
Wait, that’s what that white thing was? I thought that was a cloud.
Do you live in a predominantly white neighborhood?
In my experience the aurora borealis is always green. I live in the north of Sweden.

The red parts are rarer and harder to see. Especially with the naked eye.

The red parts were very visible last night, and I found their colour much easier to see with the naked eye than the green parts ever are.

It depends on which part of the atmosphere reacts. Pink/purple/red is also possible.
It’s the green parts that look white / grey. I believe it’s more of an illusions - if you have something to contrast it with, such as the moon, you can start to see a slight green tint. The pink I saw last night was very noticeable though.
