The hottest part of the flame is the base, so this typically burns with a different colour to the outer edges or the rest of the flame body. Blue flames are the hottest, followed by white. After that, yellow, orange and red are the common colours you'll see in most fires.
What color flames are the hottest?
When all flame colors combine, the color is white-blue which is the hottest. Most fires are the result of a chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen called combustion.
Which is hotter a blue or yellow flame?
Blue and Yellow Flame
As it relates to hydrocarbon gases, blue flame is indicative of complete combustion whilst a yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion. An LPG blue flame also burns hotter, at around 1,980°C, vs about 1,000°C for a yellow flame.
