Flame colour has nothing to do with the angle you view it from or the length of the exhaust pipe, it is nothing to do with temperature either. It simply shows how efficiently the fuel is burning.

If the combustion is burning all the carbon you get blue flames and no smoke. If there's carbon coming out in the exhaust gases then you'll get yellow-er/smoky-er flame.

This is chemistry not opinion.
