The yellow colour comes from the soot particles produced by the flame. Yellow or red flames only burn at around 1,000 degrees C. This flame is dangerous as it produces more poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Gas burners burn blue if the ratio of fuel to air is correct. A yellow burner flame is a symptom that the burner is not getting enough air for complete combustion of the gas. To adjust the color of the flames so there is a soft yellow tip at the top of the flames, the gas adjustment should be left alone and the air input reduced by partially closing the air shutter located at the end of the burner.
