Fireplace crystals change the color of a flame because of their chemistry of combustion. The crystals have different chemical compounds in them, and each compound gives off a certain color light when it is burned. You experience the wonderful effects of this every year when you watch fireworks. The people who make fireworks know (just as do the people who make fireplace crystals) what chemical compounds will burn with a bright red flame, what ones make the brilliant blues and which the superb greens.

Why does the pilot light go out when the fireplace is turned off?

The pilot light goes out when the fireplace is turned off because it is no longer needed to keep the flame ignited. The pilot light is a small flame that stays lit constantly to ignite the main burner when the fireplace is turned on. When the fireplace is turned off, there is no need for the pilot light to continue burning, so it goes out.
