Paul: Your question is not really answerable, however you spell it! The term "oxidized" is usually thought to mean "reacted with Oxygen", but in the strict chemical sense, (and in the real world) it can mean reacted with anything, where the metal no longer has the full count of electrons. And what it has reacted with will profoundly affect the colo(u)r.
This is further complicated by the fact that Tin has two oxidation states, +2 & +4...
You can't tell if it is Tin by the colo(u)r!

Hi Everyone,
If we have oxidized tin what colour would you expect tin oxidation to
be.
I thought silver would oxidize black while tin might be more yellow or
gold.
Notice I used the word colour because I am in Canada.
Sincerely,
