Best Answer

Flames aren't always orange, their colour is depenant on what material is being burned. A substance with contains a high percentage of copper will burn with a green flame and if is contains strontium the flame would be red. Different substances produce different flame colours and this property can be used to identify substances. Orange flames indicate the presence of Sodium.
