Who says candle flames need to be yellow. The candles from More Than Light put a fun spin on an everyday item.
“The More than lights online store offers clear paraffin oil as well as a variety of colored oils designed for burning in clear (glass) containers, enhancing the natural beauty of the oil lamp and adding additional color to the lamp and room.
Our colored oils are available in four colors (red, green, blue, yellow) and are packed in a special container designed to enable an easy refill while the lamp is still burning
colored oils add a unique designer touch to every occasion and as simple as they are, usually leaves guests, friends and family breath taken. ”

Um I wonder what chemicals they use for that. I’m not partial to barium or strontium.

for coloring flames mostly salts are used. I think kitchen salt make s redish orange color to a flame. Then for green i think coppers salts do that.

I’m pretty sure they use potassium salts for purpleish flames. Dunno if i they would dissolve or whatever into oil though.

[…] If you have any tiki torches or oil lamps in your home, consider buying the oil or lamps from More Than Light. Using different chemicals in the oil they are able to make the actual flame different colors, which makes them rad. I have seen a lot of time and effort put into making fire look like this in post production, so you bet your ass these will find their way into a Hollywood production at some point.
