Problem driving me up a wall

Ok when my car is at running temp and i am stopped at a stop light, then when i take off (not stomping on it but just lightly) i puff a little smoke...now i am not sure what color it is, i am investigating it now, but i want to know my options...Can you give me an idea what it is? what about if its blue, white, grey, or ? and how can i fix this problem. it only happens after the car has sat running for about a minute and then you just push on the accelerator its puffs. no hesitation or irratic idle or anything. i don't see what seems to be coolant in oil or oil in the coolant. coolant is still green as ever. so can anyone give me an insight or something that i can do. i am running 10w30 maxlife oil right now.

thanks.

Are you getting a CEL? Do you notice more oil being consumed than normal? Also when you change your oil is it thin and running...?
