Does Copper Chloride produce a blue-green or Red flame?

Why is it difficult to identify potassium ions and sodium ions in low sodium salt using a flame test?

When sodium is subjected to a flame test, it burns a bright yellow. This yellow flame can be brighter than the lilac flame color of the potassium, which makes it more difficult to distinguish between the sodium and potassium.
