I don't think they choose their color. But I would go for dark grey, like Maleficent's.

Besides poofing (though Rumple can "blink") to places, is the smoke canonically seen by others? Maybe it's just effects budget but many powers shown with smoke is also seen with no smoke.

Examples: Rumple teleports with smoke and without smoke. To teleport or summon something to you it usually has smoke with it, but Cora stole the compass, meaning she could see it, and it just vanished into her hand.

Oh, plus. How is Pan's color green when he has no smoke cloud accompanying him? I assume it's just pixie dust in the flashback, because the shadow had grey-black magic smoke. Also, when was Jafar and Amara's smoke seen? Petrification was always gray smoke, unless they both had the same color magic which wouldn't be unusual.
