For example methanol (race car fuel) (1 carbon 4 hydrogens 1 oxygen) burns with an almost invisible flame and acetylene (2 carbons 2 hydrogens (cutting torch without the oxygen turned on) burns with a bright yellow flame with clumps of soot raining down.
The colder part of a diffusion (incomplete combustion) flame will be red, transitioning to orange, yellow, and white as the temperature increases as evidenced by changes in the black-body radiation spectrum. For a given flame's region, the closer to white on this scale, the hotter that section of the flame is. The transitions are often apparent in fires, in which the color emitted closest to the fuel is white, with an orange section above it, and reddish flames the highest of all.
