You really need to burn something, like phosphorus or magnesium, to get a color. And that means pyro, and that means hiring a professional, and is also outside the TOS of this forum, I suspect.
As others have said, the answer is no. you'd have to go pyro. There are smoke cartridges that come in colors. I use a 7 sec blue for our Sleeping Beauty production and a 30 sec white for our Cinderella. But since your a HS student, pyro is out of the question.
However, I have seen a couple of new fog units that shoots straight up with a small light built in for around $70. I'm thinking of getting some for when I tour into a school that won't let me use pyro. Besides, getting two units for around that price would be the same as the hazmat shipping costs for any pyro (not counting the price of the pyro you're buying)
Just curious, why would you be against a green light?
We use slim, battery-operated LED units that are perfect for these sorts of issues. I wouldn't attempt any colored fog fluid - if you even find it, it would probably be a hefty bill for a problematic effect. Using LED's on your fog at least gives you the option of controlling the color and saturation that you see in the fog, rather than being married to one color that the director may or may not prefer.
