Blue means burning oil right? White is water?
Hmm I've never noticed different colours in my smoke, usually only grey.

Ha ha, I was going to say something about burning oil and water also, ha ha.
I haven't noticed the color of the smoke changing. I will try to pay more attention.

I haven't noticed a lot of difference in the color of pipe smoke, but I would attribute it in a large degree to lighting. The particles in smoke are always light-catchers, so any ambient light will get reflected. Since light from windows, various electric light sources, firelight, candles, etc., all give decidedly different shades of light, the smoke reflects these. I would guess different tobacco leaf and blends give off different colors, but I think those would be subtle differences.
I've noticed where I smoke, ie….. indoors vs outdoors, sunlit room vs shaded room, has an effect on the color.
Are you getting different smoke profiles with different blends? Different pipes? Any other variables changing?
