1. White smoke- steam, or water related
2. Blue smoke- oil
3. Black smoke- gas/fuel
Yep, that is correct.
In the case of diesels, white smoke can mean a rich diesel fuel mixture. For older diesels can happens when you have a very plugged air filter, for all diesels, can happen with a stuck fuel injector or just a cold start with incomplete combustion in some cases.
