What color is fire when it's as hot as it can be?

white. \nBuring magnesium is white hot, and believe me you wouldn't want to be near it when it does go up.  It is hot enough to break down the molecular structure of water into oxygen and hydrogen and then ignight the following gases.  Firefighters usually have to find other means to fight magnesium fires other than using water.

BLUE FLAMES ARE HOTTER THAN RED OR YELLOW ONES ♥♥♥

You're playing with fire.

the answer is fire because if you give fire something to burn it will live, maybe even get bigger, but if you put water on it, it will go out... so the answer is... FIRE!

When heated the electrons move from the ground state to an exicited state.  They are unstable here and return to the ground state giving off energy in the form of a specific color.  Different energy levels will produce different colors

I think that flame tests always make for spectacular shows; you stick a little bit of white powder with a wooden splint into a flame and get brilliant, vibrant colors.  These are my favorite flame tests:\nSodium: any sodium compound (like sodium chloride, table salt) will yield a yellow-orange color in flame.\nStrontium compounds flame red.\nLithium compounds yield magenta.\nBoric acid makes emerald green. \nCalcium makes red-orange.\nPotassium makes purple. \nThere are a lot of other colored flames you can make with various compounds.

Fire is the rapid combination of oxygen with fuel in the presence of heat, typically characterized by flame, a body of incandescent gas that contains and sustains the reaction and emits light and heat. (from www.straightdope.com)\n\nThe typical, bright, yellowish-orange upper part of a flame is due to the heating of unburned carbon particles.\n\nThe temperature of the fire and the material being burned are the factors that determine the color of the flame. The various colors of flames in a wood fire are due to the different substances in the flames.

Fire is a visible sign of combustion - an exothermic oxidation reaction. \n\nExothermic means that it releases energy.  In the case of visible fire (not all "flames" are visible) some of the energy is radiated at frequencies in the visible light waveband.\n\nBTW: color is related to temperature - "red hot" is around 500 C

hot pink\nheliotrope (kind of a weird pinkish purple)

It could mean talking so fast that friction causes fire, like a fast peel out in a sports scar.  Really hot fire is blue.  It could also mean that you are expelling a lot of gas because you are talking so much, and if you've ever seen a gas stove, the fire, when turned down, is blue.

Fire is a process of Oxidation.  \n\nIt's temperature is equal to or greater than the Auto-Ignition Point for the fuel substance.  Each Fuel will have it's own unique Auto-Ignition Point.\n\nIt's color is determined by the elements present, and the visual spectrum of thier discharge photons...  Photons are discharge as the electrons jump from high to lower excitation levels, and each element has it's own color signature.\n\nMost fires are orange yellow and white because of the large ammount of Hydrogen in the combustion process of organic (or formerly) material.  Occasionally Red will come out thans to the carbon of the same.\n\nIf you add powered metals to the mix your flame will change color.  Copper makes a pretty green for instance...

it depends completely onthe type of wood that you are burning ... some woods burn hotter than others.

Well, a blue flame is the most efficient burn and the hottest no matter what your combustible matter is.  At what temp that is, I don't know.

how about a spell?\n\nLight the flame\nbright the fire\nred is the color of desire...

That should only happen with copper or copper salts.\nIt's the oxidation of the copper in the flame.\nAll elements burn differently, this is the basis of how a spectrometer works.
