Easy Violet Colored Flames

Make violet colored flames or fire using common household chemicals. It's easy! All you need is lite salt, which is potassium chloride, and methyl alcohol, which is found in Heet fuel treatment. Sprinkle the potassium chloride salt onto a surface, add some methyl alcohol and light the fire. The salt won't be consumed by the flame so to get more violet flames all you need to do is add more fuel.

@turbotonic27 The camera's CCD didn't pick up the reddish tone as well as you can see it. You can make the flames more "purple" with the addition of a bit of strontium salt, as from a road flare, with the potassium salt.
