Made a small lance/flare with SrNitrate, aluminium powder, parlon and Sulfur to test the Sr Nitrate I just made from reacting Sr Carbonate with Nitric Acid.
 

It definitely produced a red but then turned orange. Is the Orange more likely from the red mixing with the tube burning or the Borax I had soaked the tube in to make it somewhat fire resistant ?

Per, Dave F. Borax is a sodium based compound.

Sodium can have a strong color influence in the amber/yellow spectrum.
