1) Why is Rumple's smoke reddish purple, while Emma's is grey?

2) Why is her magic blast golden?

I think the magic blast might be different, but I can see why they would pick golden over greyish. Is it just the type of spell she blasted. I theorize that golden magic is just a mixture of both magic. The Apprentice used it, the hat used it, the book and key used it, so why would anyone think her magic is dark when the Sorcerer's items use golden magic? I've been rewatching recently and some of the smoke clouds are pretty inconsitent... but especially Rumple's. Usually it's a sort of maroon, but then other times it's been straight up red and other times it's been straight up purple, identical to Regina and Cora's.

Blasting seems to be a different thing I guess; like Regina's cloud as always been purple, but for some reason her blast is red.
