If the fork is properly installed and you correctly adjusted the headset and everything is tightened down as it should be and the fork turns smoothly, the problem is just cosmetic and it is safe to use... and you could therefore ride it to shop... to have them confirm that it is just a couple of slightly miss-aligned colored lines. On the other hand, if the problem is not purely cosmetic, and there is something somehow cocking the fork to the right like that, then something is definitely amiss between the fork and top-cap and you shouldn't ride to bike to the shop... to have them inspect it and confirm that the bike is not fit be ridden as is.

I like the flavor of catch 22 I get from your situation.

I looks like it just cosmetic. Does the fork turn smoothly? If you lock the front brake and rock the bike back and forth is there looseness in the headset?
