Best Answer

That depends on what is burning. If it's something normal like wood, the coloration is attributable to the changes in temperature as the flame moves away from the fuel.

In other cases, such as a hazardous material, the color can be orange, green, blue, purple depending on the fuel...One things sure though! You don't want to be ANYWHERE near a flame that's any color other than orange!

What color is a fire?

It depends on the temperature of the fire. Red is a low temperature fire, yellow being pretty hot, white being very hot, and blue being extremely hot. Though fire can achieve different colors through various gas excitations, the most common colors of fire are red, yellow, white, and blue. (This is because the gas blocks out some colors, and not others, and the combination of colors that aren't blocked create the color that we see, or the color that is perceived by the eye.)
