What causes a green flame?

The flames in a fire burn according to chemical principles, and sometimes the material burned is or has in it a substance that burns with a green flame.

They are burning materials, and the color of the light given off is determined by the materials burned in the particular charge. Who would know more about what color things burn in than the chemist who is responsible for making up the stuff that goes into fireworks? There are packages of "fireplace additives" that are put on wood to give more color to the flames. The same ideas are involved.
