Purple flame compositions

Several formulas for blue flame compositions are given in Table 8.13. An extensive review of blue and purple flames, concentrating on potassium perchlorate mixtures, has been published by Shimizu.  

A purple flame, a relative newcomer to pyrotechnics, can be achieved by the correct balance of red and blue emitters. The additive blending of these two colors produces a range of colors in the purple/lilac/violet/magenta family as perceived
