Since color of the flame is related to the temp of the flame, then the level of fuel and O2 would effect it, at least in my train of throught. Plus the flame is heating up the air which has particles in to to effect the color, at least my way of thinking.

To me shutdown means complete shutdown of the rocket, so no burning occur's. The rocket motor were still burning after the two side rocket's were ejected from the rocket, looking at the video.
