Ammonia is pretty clear, Bleach is slightly yellow, but if you mix them it turns more yellow and the gasses are toxic. I did that once accidentally. The odor takes your breath away. I had to go outside almost instantly because it was burning my throat and eyes.

Stoopid. Mixing those two components is dangerous. In a nutshell, the combination produces corrosive substances in your airways that cause your lungs to fill with fluid. You drown. Household bleach is usually about 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).When mixed with ammonia (NH3), mono- and di-chloramines are formed: NH2Cl and NH2Cl2. These cause respiratory tract irritation, tearing, and nausea. Worse, these compounds decompose in water to form ammonia gas (nasty in itself) and hypochlorous acid. This last in the presence of water forms hydrochloric acid and nascent (monoatomic) oxygen, which are highly reactive and can lead to pulmonary edema and pneumonia. Don’t mix bleach with phospate-based cleaners, either: that releases chlorine gas (quite nasty), which in water also produces hydrochloric and hypochlorous acids.
