Margaret Pratt advises in What’s New that you can color flames safely using salts with ide endings such as calcium chloride copper chloride lithium chloride and potassium chloride. Copper sulfate yields emerald green. copper chloride azure blue. calcium chloride red. lithium chloride vivid red. potassium chloride light purple.
