Fire is a chemical reaction propagated through air, producing heart and light.

The colour of the flame is based on the temperature and also what’s burning.

I can burn propane and produce a yellow flame (lower energy) or if I mix it with oxygen (like in an oxy-propane torch) or could go bright blue and emit enough energy to give you arc eye.

Plasma, as previously said, is shed electrons. Normal fire , isn’t.
