The flame of caesium is typically characterized by a blue color. When caesium is burned, it produces a bright blue flame due to the excitation of its electrons, which emit light at specific wavelengths. This distinctive blue hue is a key identification feature of caesium in flame tests.
Caesium was first identified in 1860 by Robert Bunsen (of Bunsen burner fame), and Gustav Kirchhoff (of electrical circuits fame), in the course of studying flame photometry. [This same pair also discovered rubidium.]Caesium was named after the Latin word for blue, its flame colour. This metal melts below body temperature at 28.4oC. It also has some nasty radionuclides.
Caesium burns with a blue-violet color in a flame test. This distinct coloration is due to the excitation of its electrons, which emit light at specific wavelengths when they return to their ground state. The flame test is a useful method for identifying the presence of caesium in a sample.
The blue flame.
The flame is white and very luminous.

Caesium chloride is a colorless crystalline solid. Its appearance is similar to common table salt.
To identify the presence of certain metal ions, such as sodium and caesium.
The colour turns brick Red .
Potassium is the only metal (alkali metal) where a flame is present. Lithium and sodium fizz but there is no flame. Caesium, francium and rubidium all explode on contact with water.
You get and orange - yellow colour.
The blue flame.
I suppose that the flame test was not applied to californium.
Blue?
yellow
Barium ions give off a green colour when heated in a flame.
