Outermost zone -Blue The outermost zone also known as non-luminous zone is the zone of complete combustion. It is blue in colour.
The yellow color region which is the bright part of the flame is the middle zone. It is moderately hot and partial combustion of fuel takes place.
The least hot region of the flame is the innermost region. This inner zone is black in color due to the presence of unburnt wax vapors.
