Here is a small list of colors and causes from the central cal CARB site. No matter the color or cause, hope you can get it fixed pronto if you want keep driving the car.
A friends 54 daily driver was turned in because it had some smoking issues. Air resources sent him a letter and "invited" him to bring the car into a check station. Next thing he knows DMV suspended the registration until the car was repaired and passed another check.
AFAIK, southern cal air resources are as big a pain to deal with as the valley region. Up here, all it takes is a phone call and license plate number from a disgruntled person. In SoCal I believe you can also get hit by driving past one of those infrared checkers that are stationed at some of the on ramps.
