The addition and combination of various powdered metals and minerals added in various combinations produce the colors that we see.
Copper, magnesium, iron powders, sulphurs , and many other elements all combine to create the palette of colors pyrotechnical artist's employ for our pleasure.
Copper is used to make the blue colour of fireworks. Although copper produces a green flame in a laboratory flame test, the use of copper in relatively low temperature flames and in the presence of chlorine produces CuCl+ ions that give out bright blue emission lines at moderately flame temperatures.
Caesium can also be used, but this is much too expensive for normal use.
In general, the difficulty of producing blue flames in fireworks means that their presence in a firework display is is a reasonable indicator of the expense and quality of the display.
magnesium gives a brilliant white light. Copper, although rare because of the dangers of reacting with potassium chlorate to produce highly explosive copper sulfate, can be burned to produce a brilliant blue light.

∙ 9y agoWhat gives fireworks their different colors is the mixture of metal salts and metal oxides. When these substances are heated the energy is absorbed and released and in the process they emit light. The color is dependent on the energy a particular element releases.
For example the color red is a mixture of lithium salts and strontium, while blue is a mixture of copper chloride.
Here are a few more:
- Violet - potassium nitrate, rubidium nitrate
- Green - barium chloride
- Indigo - cesium nitrate
- Gold - charcoal, iron
- Orange - calcium chloride
- White - titanium, aluminum, beryllium, magnesium powders
- Yellow - sodium nitrate

For a red firework it's normally a form of Strontium and for a purple it's Typically a mix of Strontium and Copper compounds

Two of this elements compounds burn with a red flame and are used in fireworks and signal flares?
Lithium, strontium and calcium have red flames.
What produces the color in fireworks?
Various metal salts are put in fireworks to add color. Strontium carbonate makes red fireworks. White fireworks have a touch of titanium. Calcium chloride causes orange fireworks. Sodium nitrate creates yellow fireworks while barium chloride creates green fireworks. Copper chloride produces blue fireworks. To make purple fireworks, they mix strontium (red) and copper (blue).
What are the compounds which are red in color?
The compounds of Cobalt as CoCl2 and Cu2O are red.

The address of the Kaboom Fireworks On The Navesink Inc is: Po Box 155, Red Bank, NJ 07701-0155
How do fireplace crystals change the color f a flame?
Fireplace crystals change the color of a flame because of their chemistry of combustion. The crystals have different chemical compounds in them, and each compound gives off a certain color light when it is burned. You experience the wonderful effects of this every year when you watch fireworks. The people who make fireworks know (just as do the people who make fireplace crystals) what chemical compounds will burn with a bright red flame, what ones make the brilliant blues and which the superb greens.
What colors can create purple?
red and blue
What do orange and purple have in common?
They are both visible colors To create orange you mix red and yellow. To create purple you mix red and blue. They both require the color red
Two of this elements compounds burn with a red flame and are used in fireworks and signal flares?
Lithium, strontium and calcium have red flames.
Which of the tested elements give the spectacular and vared color of fireworks?
Strontium compounds provide red color (and is often found in road flares as well). Calcium compounds produce orange. Charcoal (carbon) or a mixture of iron and carbon provide the gold/yellow color. Sodium compounds produce a yellow color. Barium compounds produce green. Copper compounds produce blue. A mixture of strontium (red) compounds and copper (blue) compounds produces purple. Silver/white can be produced by: aluminum, magnesium, titanium, or antimony (III) sulfide.
What colour do red and purple make when mixed?
White No white is not the color who ever put that is wrong. It makes the color Maroon.Red and blue create purple, adding more red to the paint would create a darker purple with a slight red tint
WHAT does Does purple and red make?
i belive that they are mauve or really light puple i think if this is helpful please say thanks
