Star Wars Engine Colors
This actually lines up with real-world science. Different chemicals glow different colors when burned. Like in real life, where xenon burns blue when it's ionized (which is a thing with real ion thrusters), different fuels in Star Wars could lead to different exhaust colors.
Engines, also known as thrusters, were devices used to propel vehicles across land, through a planet's atmosphere, or through the void of space. Engines could vary in size and shape, with some vehicles like podracers consisting of little more than two engines and a cockpit.[2] There were at least three categories of engines: repulsorlifts (which required a large mass to push against in order. Same reason Star Trek ships all have distinct color schemes per faction.

Starfleet is white/gray with blue/red engines, Klingons are green with red engines, Romulans are green on green, Cardassians are sort of an amber with orange engines, etc. I think it's also a possibility that the difference in color is based on the specialization of the fuel/engine (i.e., you could use X-colored fuel to make your engines more efficient in extremely cold temperatures, or you could use Y-colored fuel which would work better for heavier loads like capital ships or cargo transports, all at the costs. Unofficial community for Star Wars, an American epic space opera franchise, created by George Lucas and centered around a film series that began with the eponymous 1977 movie.
All starship fuel colors in Star Wars Outlaws and where to find them - a full catalog with detailed overviews and locations of each cosmetic! My five-year-old son noticed something in The Empire Strikes Back: When the Millennium Falcon takes off from Bespin (Cloud City) the light from the engines is red. In all other images it appears bl. Ships like the Millenium falcon, Venator and ISD have blue engines.
Wie fliegen die Sternenjäger in Star Wars ohne Seitentriebwerke?
Ships like the X wing and Super Star destroyer have red. Ships like the CR90 and B-wing have orange. The Ghost has yellow.
And I think I remember seeing at least one ship with green thrusters (somewhere in the clone wars cartoon) Are different colors more powerful than others or using different fuels or something?
