Colored Flames On Candles

more than light colored flames

If you have any tiki torches or oil lamps in your home, consider buying the oil or lamps from More Than Light. Using different chemicals in the oil they are able to make the actual flame different colors, which makes them rad. I have seen a lot of time and effort put into making fire look like this in post production, so you bet your ass these will find their way into a Hollywood production at some point.
