yellow flame
Fire's warm hue
A yellow flame is the luminous, warm-colored fire produced when combustion is incomplete or when carbon particles glow incandescent.
It's the typical flame of a candle or wood fire, as opposed to the hotter blue flame of a well-oxygenated gas burner.
The yellow flame flickered in the fireplace.
In laboratory settings, a yellow flame often indicates the burner needs adjustment.
