There are many different varieties of dango which are usually named after the various seasonings served on or with it.
Hanami dango: Also has three colors, Hanami dango is traditionally made during Sakura-viewing season. Hence the name Hanami (Hanami means "flower viewing"; hana meaning "flower", and mi meaning "to see").
Goma: sesame seeds. It is both sweet and salty.
