If you have lot of unburned fuel then yes it is black if just some then it's blue.
Water= steam not smoke

Oil = white smoke. Try heating piece of metal until it glows and put it oil bath like when hardening metal in oil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHMWN-A_6RY you will see what I mean. Also I have seen plenty of 2 stroke air cooled scooters and mopeds with too much oil added to petrol around giving white smoke or chainsaws for that matter.
