PURPLE CUZ IT'S AWESOME
I have purple shoes and a purple phone

Let me guess you have a purple girlfriend, a purple corvette, and a purple window?
Sorry I just thought of that song when I read your post. I would also like a purple flame.

What song would that be?

Here is a link to it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc

well thanks for your help guys looks like this product could actually work =) if i need anymore help with market research i will be sure to post.

Green. It's the easiest to make and is the most obvious of all coloured flames.

It was my mum's Birthday last month, we had coloured candles in her cake so I get to know things

 

[FranzTyphid]

white
everyone would think its really really hot

 

[Jark212]

Blue any day of the week...
If there at a reasonable price.

 

[mattman106]

Blue or White because they look really clean and modern imo. I guess if you are talking like normal candle size i.e. ones that go in candle holders at dinner tables about £4-5 a pop. If they were chunky on that stand up by themselves about £7-8 quid maybe.

 

[Kenni-chan]

Definitely purple

 

[Pingieking]

Voted blue.
Black would be the best. Bring on some blackbody radiation.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Purple is magical and would be a great help in setting the, erm, mood

 

[G-Dragon]

hmm, 2 to 5 dollars depending on size of candle and how long it would last

 

[Hollock]

they should have black so that people can reanact the movie hocus pocus.

 

[One Seven One]

a white fire would be interesting, probably wouldn't be able to look at it for to long.

 

[badgersprite]

I'd go for blue, because that would be awesome and create a really mellow atmosphere, but, to be honest, I would buy all of those colours if your products were on the market. This is the sort of thing that spikes my 'Eee! I want it!' reflexes.

You're probably going to have to have wicks soaked with compounds of elements like copper and barium to get this to work, but I think it would be financially feasible, for the novelty of it.

Any colour would be really cool. And as for price, in Canada/United States: What ever the price of a normal bundle of similar sized candles, + cost of colouring materials to a max of maybe 10-15% more than a similar sized normal candle.

 

[Kollega]

Purple flame is awesome.

 

[AnneSQF]

They would all be awesome!

 

[Inverse Skies]

Green fire would be fairly cool, a friend of mine got me a lighter from China which had a flame which burned green. I believe the green colour that comes out of fireworks is due to either sodium or copper salts from memory (more likely copper) so your candles will probably end up being expensive, albeit very cool.

 

[LeonLethality]

I made coloured fire with copper surrounded by garden hose... (I think it was copper...)

 

[KaiRai]

white or green Would look really cool. White candle, white flame, like the purest of fire.
