When the flame takes on the color of blue this means that the fire is at the highest temperature. The fire is at its hottest and may take lesser time to heat whatever needs to be heated.
What colour the flame is has totally got to do with how much oxygen is allowed into the Bunsen, the flame can be anywhere between a bight orange to blue, all the way to being almost unnoticeable. This is what make them dangerous if unattended as you wont know there burning until you are. Low air easily visible flame, High air flow, and it becomes very difficult to see.
Assuming we're not throwing ions into the flame and the color is due strictly to temperature, the blue flame is hotter.The problem is that flames can be different colors for reasons other than temperature. Specifically, they may contain ionized materials with strong emission lines that color the flame. Probably the easiest example to observe using ordinary household materials is sodium which gives an orangish yellow color (easily seen by dropping a few crystals of table salt into the flame of a gas stove).The reason that hotter flames are blue is that blue light is more energetic than red light. A hotter flame has more energy, and therefore generates more energetic light.
Methane (natural gas) is the most commonly used gas for residential heating. In rural areas where there are no pipes carrying natural gas and in recreational vehicles, propane and butane are commonly used.
The blue flame is hotter then the orange one. Plus the temperature of the flame is not constant in a orange flame but it is more constant in a blue one.
yellow
Blue flame. because it does not have carbon

blue flames are hotter
A blue flame is hotter than a yellow flame because a blue flame has more oxygen, so it has more energy to create extra heat. Therefore, a blue flame is more dangerous and a yellow flame is used in laboratories. The hottest part of the blue flame is right under the middle, this part is called the crown !!
The hotter the temperature the darker the colour and the colder the temperature the brighter/more blue the colour so if it is going to be hot some where when you look on a weather radar then it will be darker in that are and if it is colder it will be brighter/more blue.

The more air the fiercer the flame and the hotter the flame.

The Blue Flame Will Be Noisier. The Yellow Flame Is Called A Safety Flame Because Everyone can See it. There Are Two Blue Flames: Medium Roaring The Roaring Flame Has A Blue Cone In The Middle Of The Flame And It Is The Hottest. It Also Has More Oxygen. But Overall, The Blue Flames Will Be Noisier Than The Yellow Flame.
The hottest part is the internal flame triangle in the blue flame (roaring blue flame) - up to 700 0C.
