It's called a Neutral flame. Enough Oxygen is added to the fuel to allow almost complete combustion. The remaing fuel is combined with the surrounding air and burned. This is the best flame for most cutting and welding operations. Too little Oxygen produces a Carburizing flame. It is yellow and produces smoke. A slightly Carburizing flame is used when welding Aluminum.

Too much Oxygen produces an Oxidizing flame. It begins to sound louder and the inner flame comes to a point.

I'm not an expert, but I think it depends on what you're burning, if it is a gas fire than a lazy yellow flame is the coolest. But if you're burning carbons, (paper, charcoal, etc.) than a greenish flame is the coolest.
