Potassium chloride is non-flammable and was at one point used in fire extinguishers for B-rated fires ( FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS such as paraffin, petrol, oil etc.) and C-rated fires (FLAMMABLE GASES such as propane, butane, methane etc.).
It burns a purple/lilac colour due to the presence of potassium.
Potassium salts introduced into a gas flame emit a red-violet color.
It is a white or colourless crystalline compound.
violet
Lilac
pink
blue
The color is from the potassium !
When flame tested, Sodium ions range from a yellow to a bright orange flame and Potassium ions give a lilac or light purple flame. Neither the Sulphate nor the Chloride ions should have emission spectra in the visible range.
Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.

well , the colour of potassium chloride is a lilac colour :) hope this helps

Color is determined by the respective cation: Potassium - lilac Sodium - yellow Lithium - red
A lila color, from potassium spectral lines.

potassium (K) produces a blueish purple flame
When Magnesium chloride is burnt in a Bunsen flame, it imparts no colour in the flame.
