Generally, the more oxygen supplied to a flame, the hotter and bluer the flame is.

Wick stoves need to be hot, so they are designed to allow lots of oxygen to get to the flame, which also makes it bluer.

Lamps just need to be bright, so the oxygen input is regulated by valves in order to achieve a more yellow, cooler flame.
