What would be the properties of a mixture of frozen N2O4 and Al? If it is stable enough it could be used as a flash powder in cold times.

I wouldn't try that mix for a couple of reasons. The 2 components might explode on
contact. Nitrogen dioxide(red fumes) would likely be generated from tetroxide heating
up. Good for tearing up the lungs and killing you.
