As said..
Black is Fuel, overfuelling.
White is Water, head gasket.
Blue is Oil, piston rings, stem seals, or turbo.

so you should be worried, too much fueling will start causing bore wash! then thin the oil then as its a fresh build it will ruin the rebuild due to the oil not be able to absorb all the filings!
this is the extremist of cases but does happen!
