∙ 13y agoIt depends on the substance that is being burned. If you burn a pure element of lithium the color would appear red. If you burn pure potassium it will be green. If you burn pure sodium it will be a yellowish orangish color. And all the elements on the periodic table burn a different hue. Different earth metals burn differently. If you burn something like a french fry then you would see a combination of colors all together because you have a combination of elements in the french fry (the color will most likely be a mixture of colors). Also different liquids burn at different intensities. Some alkanes burn a reddish or yellowish. Some would burn a white or blue color. Obviously the ones that burn white would be the hottest.
