Fireplace crystals change the color of a flame because of their chemistry of combustion. The crystals have different chemical compounds in them, and each compound gives off a certain color light when it is burned. You experience the wonderful effects of this every year when you watch fireworks. The people who make fireworks know (just as do the people who make fireplace crystals) what chemical compounds will burn with a bright red flame, what ones make the brilliant blues and which the superb greens.
No, it is not normal for a bio ethanol fireplace to produce an odor if placed in a bedroom.

Color change
Yes, as a matter of fact there are a number of resources available that will help with learning how to take care of a classic flame fireplace. One example is the Portable Fireplace website and it can be found here: www.portablefireplace.com/classic-flame-fireplace/
Sprinkling charcoal powder into a non-luminous flame will not change the color of the flame. The flame color is determined by the elements present in the fuel being burned, not by adding additional substances like charcoal.
white/gray
The flame color of magnesium sulfate is typically a pale white or colorless flame when it is burned. This color is due to the presence of magnesium in the compound, which burns with a relatively faint flame color compared to other metals.
Electric Fireplaces use a resistor to "radiate" the heat, rather than a flame. THe "flame" you see is usually a bulb in the background.
clean blue flame
The color of Mercury in flame is red.
All but the very center bottom. The general color will change ie, green for Copper.
The flame color of boron in the flame test is bright green.
The pilot light goes out when the fireplace is turned off because it is no longer needed to keep the flame ignited. The pilot light is a small flame that stays lit constantly to ignite the main burner when the fireplace is turned on. When the fireplace is turned off, there is no need for the pilot light to continue burning, so it goes out.
