Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.
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.
Flame test color blue: arsenic, selenium.
In a flame test the copper ions in copper chloride will produce a 'blue/green' flame. To test for metal ions, the flame colour in a flame test is indicative of the metal present. Lithium = Red Sodium = Yellow Potassium = Lilac (pale purple). There are many more flame test colours.
In qualitative analysis, flame tests are used in confirming what kind of metal is present in a solution. The green flame or bluish-green flame color is usually present whenever copper metal is present in a solution.
it burns white, but when mixed with potasium nirtate, it burns purple/violet
Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.
Potassium produces a lilac flame
Magnesium
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.

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.
Get a wire. Bend it into a ring and put a few crystals of your solid on it. Do a flame test using a Bunsen burner. Potassium will give a violet flame and Sodium ions will give a Yellow flame.
