The color is green, the wavelength emitted by boron.
The bead of borax with some powdered sample is heated in a flame; the color of the bead is specific for each element and is used as a qualitative analysis.
With the flame test we can identify some chemical elements; see the link to Wikipedia, for ex.

The colors in the flame test depends on the specific emission lines of a chemical element.
Cobalt oxide typically appears as a blue color in the borax bead test.

The borax bead test is a qualitative analytical test used to identify certain metallic ions based on the color of the borax bead after heating with the sample. The test involves melting a small amount of borax with the sample on a platinum wire loop and observing the color of the resulting borax bead under a flame. Different metal ions produce distinct colored beads, aiding in their identification.
it has something to do with the chemical composition of the elements.

Many elements are green in a flame test: B, Tl, Te, Sb, Cu(II) (copper not in a halide).
The flame test as a chemical test is rarely used as a diagnostic anymore. It has been replaced with ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) analysis that is basically a computerized flame test on steroids. ICP analysis allows researchers to quickly determine the elemental composition of almost any sample. One fun application of the flame test is fireworks. Fireworks are given their colors by the same chemicals that color flames in the flame test.
The flame colour should be LILAC. When holding the potassium chloride above it, make sure nothing has dropped into the flame/Bunsen Burner before as that will definitely affect the results (i.e. change the flame colour completely!). It can turn out to be pink or white, but it should be lilac, so don't worry.How to do:1) Select a splint or tweezers/safe holder and soak in compound.2) Gently pass the splint through the hot flame of a Bunsen Burner. Do not hold the splint in the flame for too long, as it could affect the results.3) Return the splint and wash thoroughly before reusing for different compound or experiment. Wash hands if any substance causes irritation or harm. Do not rub eyes as all chlorides are irritant, corrosive, toxic or harmful.
Iron (III) chloride does not produce a distinct color flame during a flame test. This compound is typically used more for other chemical tests rather than flame tests for cation identification.
One common chemical identification test for lithium carbonate is the flame test. When lithium carbonate is heated in a flame, it produces a characteristic crimson red color. This color is distinctive for lithium ions and can be used to confirm the presence of lithium in a sample.
