Various compounds are added to the fireworks to give them colour. Some commonly used ones are:

lithium carbonate, Li2CO3 = red

strontium carbonate, SrCO3 = bright red

calcium chloride, CaCl2 or calcium sulfate, CaSO4·xH2O, where x = 0,2,3,5 = orange

incandescence of iron (with carbon), charcoal, or lampblack = gold

sodium nitrate, NaNO3 or cryolite, Na3AlF6 = yellow

white-hot metal, such as magnesium or aluminium, or barium oxide, BaO = electric white

barium chloride, BaCl+ = bright green

copper acetoarsenite (Paris Green), Cu3As2O3Cu(C2H3O2)2 = blue

copper (I) chloride, CuCl = turquoise blue

mixture of strontium (red) and copper (blue) compounds = purple

burning aluminum, titanium, or magnesium powder or flakes = silver (colour).

How do our eyes see colors differently?

Our eyes see colors differently because of the different types of light-sensitive cells in our retinas called cones. These cones are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive a wide range of colors. Additionally, factors such as genetics, age, and lighting conditions can also affect how we perceive colors.

Can you be colour blind and not know?

If you are very young, you may not realize that you see colors differently from everyone else, but as you grow, it's pretty obvious that everybody else sees certain colors that you cannot see. Why would there be two colors on a traffic light, for instance, if they both look so similar to someone who is color blind? The answer is that they must look different to other people than they do to you.


Can a person see colors and what a color blind person can see?

Im not sure exactly what you mean but if you mean can a colourblind person see colours of course we can we just see them differently and sometimes more obscurely. I personally find it annoying when people who know I'm colourblind ask me stuff like that. If you mean do colourblind and non colourblind people see colours differently; yes. Colourblindness is caused by a slight "difference from the normal" of the yellow spot (cluster of photosensitive cells that allow colours to be distinguished)
