Etanol is burning with a faint blue-ish flame color
It depends on what alcohol is being burned. It can range from blue to orange and yellow, or mainly blue.
blue flame
The flame color would be green.
This compound will not produce a flame as Aluminum, which is the element that controls whether photons(flame color) are released or not.
it gives off a blue flame
The lithium color of lithium in the flame test is red.
Flame cannot be considred as matter exactly. It is combination of light and heat, which originate due to the combustion of matter at that point.
When flame is applied to ethanol (C2H5OH), it undergoes combustion, a chemical reaction where it reacts with oxygen (O2) in the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and heat. The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethanol is: C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O In this reaction, the ethanol molecule breaks apart, and its carbon and hydrogen atoms combine with oxygen atoms from the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, respectively. This reaction releases a significant amount of heat energy, which is why ethanol is used as a fuel in alcohol burners, stoves, and engines. When you observe a flame applied to ethanol, you will see a blue-colored flame, indicating complete combustion. The heat produced by the combustion of ethanol can be used for various purposes, such as heating, cooking, or powering engines.
Glowing gases observed during combustion is called a "flame."

Non-open flame combustion
During combustion, energy is released. Some of this energy takes the form of light, making the flame visible.
The flame of a Bunsen burner that is yellow in color will leave a black carbon residue due to the incorrect mixture of oxygen into the flame. Because there is not enough oxygen for complete combustion, the carbon reside is left behind. When the Bunsen flame has a sufficient amount of oxygen mixed in, hence the 'roaring flame', it has a blue color and does not leave a carbon residue due to complete combustion of the acetylene gas.
The best flame for heating thing is blue. Complete combustion usually has a dim or light blue color because of single wavelength radiation.
Non-luminous flame
white flame
Of a Bunsen Burner flame? Combustion takes place in all parts of the flame.
It is not advisable to heat ethanol with a Bunsen flame because of the low boiling point and its volatile nature. Ethanol is also flammable, and therefore it is best to heat ethanol on a heat plate or steam condenser.
Actually, oxygen itself does not burn. Instead it is the reaction with some other fuel that causes combustion. As a result, any color that results is due to the additional fuel, not the oxygen in the mixture.
