where do I register a personal bouy
Mooring buoys come in all shapes, sizes and colors (other than those colors used for navigational aids).
Its a secret...
The colors of a mooring buoy are blue and white. They are white with a blue horizontal band, and this color scheme facilitates identification and avoids confusion with aids to navigation.
Generally white with a blue band.
White with a blue band
Mooring buoys are white and have a blue horizontal stripe around them. Some mooring buoys are made of foam and others are made from hard, molded plastic.
Any color(s) the harbormaster decides.
Mooring Buoys in Washington State waters are white with a blue strip around the buoy.

Again this is a VERY broad question, with no mention to the size of the vessel, conditions or the location of the buoy, I am going to say speed of the vessel is a factor. The length of your vessel, in relation to the swing. The scope of the line required to moor. The type of connection you will be using and the duration are factors to take into account when approaching a mooring buoy.
