Essentially, impurities, the material being burned, and uneven combustion. A clean hydrogen flame is almost invisible. When burning a propane flame it is blue and purple when it has good even combustion and ionizes the gasses in the flame and it turns blue. Orange flames are more uneven combustion as well as different fuel being burned.
