I dont know why, but the smoke that come out of my kiln have different colours. Its something visual or it mean something? I have seen it pink in most cases, and black and green more rarely.
I didnt looked at the others, but with the green one the bricks was made and it continue going out for a while, there was some fuel left, like 30 or something.

The color (for now?) is merely random and decorative. The kiln will keep burning until all of the fuel is exhausted, but it doesn't take 100% fuel to fire most objects.

For now i think the color is random, later i think it will be based on clay elements.

Random because purity=0% maybe? I assume that for example if your clay would go more to sulphur, a certain color will appear more
