I suspect the software wouldn't allow you to use settings that would cause the engine to breach emissions legislations. However, you're right that the smoke would be grey or black. Most likely grey at startup, then black

Grey - unburned diesel vapour, usually due to insufficient compression/low block temperature
Black - partially combusted hydrocarbons due to insufficient oxygen in cylinder
Blue - oil in combustion mix, probably due to piston rings being worn or engine breathing issues
