Maybe a lighter grey would do to make it look less like smoke and more like dust clouds. Dust clouds scatter light, do not emit light themselves and ash is typically grey because it consists of not-completely-combusted combustibles.

Come to think of it ... if Mevans would add this for ash blocks, he could also consider to add fine sand dust clouds as a randomized particle effect to sand blocks (yellow and red). This would add to the announced season/climate system Mevans may still be working on. Even without such a system, the dust cloud particle effect on sandy and ash blocks may add to the in-game visuals, like fog does. I just hope it won't cause too much lag, both on servers and clients.
