The chemistry that governs barium salts, as used in green stars, is somewhat analogous to that of the strontium salts employed in red stars since both elements are found in the same group of the periodic table. While the use of compounds such as strontium chloride, strontium chlorate or strontium perchlorate might be considered to be appropriate...

Smith and Koch have reported on the use of the compounds Me(NH3>a (C104)2 where Me stands for Ca, Sr, and Ba. A sample received about ten years ago from the G. Frederick Smith Chemical Company with the formula Sr en4(Ci04>2 (en=ethylenediamine) is still in excellent, barely agglomerated condition, and when ignited with a match yields a flame of beautiful deep red coloration. Douda has reported on the properties of tris(glycine) strontium perchlorate with the same goal in mind, but standardized colored flares have not as yet come forth from these interesting efforts. 

The other approach is to embed the hygroscopic perchlorates in a plastic material, which thus becomes fuel, binder, and protective coating and also opens the way for new production techniques. This scheme has been tried as shown in a U. S. patent for lithium perchlorate embedded in nylon for the purpose of formulating high-energy propellants, and it is applicable to colored flame production. A similar idea is incorporated in another U. S. patent that deals with colored flame matches or more exactly match splints made from cellulose acetate in which the perchlorates of copper or strontium perchlorate, dissolved in triethanolamine, are dispersed. Again, the color effect is most pleasing, but the technique seems to have remained confined to laboratory samples.
