can anybody tell me what’s the color if the caulk used here? i replace the other side of my kitchen with silicone white and the colour is totally different with what is attached as picture.

Matching something like this isn't possible, given the range of color reproduction on our computers. Vendors make samplers of their grout/ color match caulk; that would be the easiest way to roughly match. Alternately, buy a bunch of different color matched caulk from somewhere that will let you return the ones you don't need. Hopefully, the representation on the label will help you choose.
I wouldn't use this product. Its easy to remove caulk by hand. In only a few cases does it really need to be completely gone, such as for painting and significant fixture changes. Usually caulk is removed and then immediately covered back up with new caulk.
I would use a plastic scraper to get the caulk up. For stubborn or detailed work use a new, clean razorblade. After the big bits are up, hit it mildly abrasive kitchen cleaner and a scrubby/rough-texture sponge to get the last little bits and adhesive up. Wipe it dry and put down new caulk.
Use the $6 you saved on the caulk remover to buy yourself lunch.
While I'm tempted to say the difference is just marketing hype, you can use either one, there is a very slight difference in formulation. The window and door stuff has slightly less petroleum distillates in the formula, according to MSDS information at nih.gov. Petroleum distillates will evaporate during curing, so I'm unsure why there's a difference. The difference is so small however, I'm confident you can use one or the other with no noticeable difference in the final installation.
