The Mojave explosion in 2007 produced an orange cloud that climbed at least a thousand feet. N2O decomposition can produce higher nitrogen oxides as a side product.

I can't find anything on a more recent incident, but the one in Florida on Aug 29 apparently caused an orange cloud (pics at http://www.pnj.com/story/news/local/escambia-county/2016/08/29/airgas-explosion-dock-accident/89537072/). Does this sound right for a nitrous oxide explosion?
