I believe that effciency in an engine may be measured thus, and exhaust coulor be matched accordingly.

Right. If you look at all of the engines in the videos...in they dark... they're all blue. By the chart that was put up if the mixture is right and the engine is running perfectly the flame should be blue with a lick of red at the end. If you stood right up close maybe you could see some red.
