The colors in fireworks come from what?

The colour of a particular firework is determined by the chemical compound used when building the firework. Some chemical compounds produce colour when they ignite and burn. Ideal compounds will produce a pure, intense color when present in moderate concentration. A typical firework is made up of the following ingredients: * A fuel which allows the firework to burn. * An oxidizer which helps to support combustion. * Color-producing chemicals. * A binder which holds the pellet together. * A Chlorine Donor which provides chlorine to strengthen the color of the flame. Some examples of the chemicals used for colouring are: * Lithium carbonate for red * Calcium chloride for orange * Sodium nitrate for yellow * Barium chloride for green * Copper chloride for blue * Potassium nitrate for purple * Aluminium for white

How is the light given off by fireworks similar to an element's emission spectrum?

Many firework colors are made by burning metal salts. Each element gives off a unique color of the spectrum. When fireworks are lit, it causes the atoms of the metal salts to become excited, and as the fireworks are shot into the air electronic transition takkes place and visible light is seen. Depending on what elements the firework is made of will determine the color seen.
