How efficiently they burn is a factor too, not just type of fuel.

There are only two things that would impact the color you see: the physical properties and chemical composition of the exhaust plume and the atmospheric conditions at time of launch. So one of those two things (most likely actually a combination of both) would cause the color you are referring to.
