smoke is the leftover in incomplete combustion.so when the car first starts up, its not as hot as it is 20 seconds later,so there is more incomplete combustion,puting off more smoke.the smoke just changes color because the lighter the smoke the less dense it is.

Can a car with white smoke coming from muffler pass an emisssions test?
NO!! White smoke indicates the burning of oil. The law says, "ANY smoke coming from the engine during any part of the test is grounds for failure." I've been an Emissions guy in Denver for 23 years. White smoke is oil. Black is gas (too rich). Black smoke can get pricey. White smoke is always pricey!!
