Limited oxygen intake in a lit Bunsen burner will emit a luminous, or yellow, flame. This type of flame is not usually used in the laboratory.
If the air vent is closed, there may not be enough oxygen for complete combustion, resulting in a yellow or orange flame due to the presence of unburned carbon particles. It is inefficient and can produce more soot and carbon monoxide.
The color of the flame seen when sulfur burns in air is blue.
blue
Sulfur is a non-metal that can burn with a blue flame. When ignited, sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide gas, which burns with a characteristic blue flame.
To adjust the flame on a Bunsen burner, first make sure the gas is turned on. Then, slowly open the air vent to let in more oxygen, which will produce a blue, hotter flame. Conversely, closing the air vent will produce a yellow, cooler flame.
A flame supplied by vitiated air may have a yellow or orange color rather than a blue color typically seen with a clean-burning flame. It may also produce more soot and smoke, and the flame may flicker or be unstable. Additionally, there may be a noticeable odor of unburned fuel.

A bunsen burner (as used in a science lab or science classroom) will burn quietly, and a flickery yellow (like a wax candle) if the air hole is closed, or closed too much. If the air holes is opened, the flame will turn bluish and become noisy and hotter as more air mixes with the gas.
When natural gas (methane) and air are properly mixed, a blue flame is produced.
The flame of a Bunsen burner becomes small when the air inlet is closed, leading to a fuel-rich environment. It becomes bigger when the air inlet is opened, allowing more oxygen to mix with the fuel gas and create a hotter, larger flame.
The more air the fiercer the flame and the hotter the flame.
A Bunsen burner is commonly used in laboratories to produce a flame for heating, sterilizing, or combustion purposes. It operates by mixing gas with air and igniting the mixture to produce a controlled, focused flame.
