Is that orange color to the smoke of the explosion characteristic of an ammonium nitrate explosion?

By skimming through it quickly it appears the red orange color is a product of unburned nitrogen oxides (NOx). There’s a picture in that document that shows a red orange brown cloud. It is poisonous.
Interestingly it says if you have the oxidizer and fuel balanced properly, the detonation will produce only harmless gases.
