This surprises many who are accustomed to associating heat with the vibrant oranges and reds seen in a crackling campfire or the glowing embers of a dying flame. Blue flames indicate the presence of positive intensity.\u201d Like a Bunsen burner in a laboratory setting or gas stove\u2019s lit burner, the blue-violet flame is a clear indicator of maximum output. <\/p>\n \u201cWhat if one of the greatest innovators inside the four walls of a corporation is a Black Woman?\u201d Macon continues. \u201cWhat if she is the Blue Flame?
