cobalt oxide➡️deep blue
gold chloride➡️ruby red
selenium compounds➡️reds
carbon oxides➡️amber/brown
a mix of manganese, cobalt, iron➡️black
antimony oxides➡️white
uranium oxides➡️yellow-green (glows!)
sulfur compounds➡️amber/brown
copper compounds➡️light blue, red
tin compounds➡️white
lead with antimony➡️yellow
