I read they add a certain extra ingredient to the alcohol powered engine so it glows yellow for effect, possibly sodium.

Nope, it's just straight kerosene fuel, no additives. The plume is so bright that it's painful to view it without sunglasses, a camera just doesn't capture the dynamic range. With sunglasses and two layers of tinted glass (looking through a car), you can see the shock diamonds clearly, but they are washed out in every video.
By the way, that's my voice doing the countdown, I was the console operator for the first series of tests on this engine.
