I know that blue fire is hotter than yellow fire. Is there such thing as a fire color as violet hot fire?

Is violet hot flame the hottest colored fire? What's the temperature range for violet hot fire?

I know that blue fire is hotter than yellow fire. Is there such thing as a fire color as violet hot fire?
If it is hot enough maybe it will burn Ultraviolet? However I imagine that no material can burn that hot. But explosions and other astronomy events produce Ultraviolet and Xrays, which can be interpretted as extremely hot temperatures.
Reply:I don't think there is ever a violet hot fire, but I do know that when potassium is ignited it burns violet.
Reply:The color of fire depends on what is being burned (or subjected to sufficient heat.) Sodium, yellow. Potassium, purple (or violet.) Copper, green. Barium, red. Etc. Check each of these substances over a Bunsen burner,
