A systematic method for obtaining the asymptotic behavior of a dynamical system forced by colored noise in the limit of small intensity is developed. It is based on the search of WKB solutions to the Fokker-Planck equation for the joint probability density of the system and noise, in which the perturbation expansion is continued to the first correction beyond the Hamiltonian-Jacobi limit. The method can be applied to noise with correlation time of order unity. It is illustrated on the normal form of a pitchfork bifurcation, where it is pointed out that additive noise can induce a shift of the most probable value. This prediction is confirmed by numerical simulation of the stochastic differential equations.
