Question:i would love to see black fire
some say it is possible with lots and lots of carbon
some say it is not possible
the color of fire reflects the heat of the flame
i believe it goes like this
blue is the hottest then white then yellow then orange then red for coolest
so if there was black fire i would think it would be a very low temperature
the color of fire is also affected by elements
red can be produced by lithium or strontium
yellow orange calcium
yellow sodium
green barium or boron
green blue phosphorous or zinc
pale green lead
blue copper or selenium or arsenic
violet potassium
so now you have two color spectrum palettes of fire

there is a black flame, it's like the hottest fire

Black fire would not make any light if that was one of the purposes of fire. And no, blue fire is the hottest flame, duh.

Since you quoted that flames are made in all colors, I think it’s because black is the absent of colors

A flame is often defined as the visible (light-emitting) part of a fire.
Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light.
By theory its not possible to have a black flame.

The "black" God has black fire! Black is the absence of light and fire is light!

If we can site sightings in movies I have seen a black flame and it emitted no light. BUt it was in a Disney movie called "Hocus Pocus" with Bette Midler.

Disney made it so the visuals are excellent and it looks real.

Does that count?

:-)
Peace y'all

black flame (if there is a such thing) wouldn't emit any light therefore it would have been pretty-much useless except heat.

Because that would be too damn cool looking.
Also: I don't think I've ever seen a grey or brown flame.
