the second have a best red flamme !

[superspike23]

adding a little mg/al , brightness may be stronger?

[val77]

yes

[Potassiumchlorate]

I use this one for Bengal fires:

 

Strontium nitrate 65

Potassium chlorate 20

Shellac 15

 

A dangerous but fierceful composition is this from the English pyrotechnist Browne (about 1870). This is totally on your own risk:

 

Strontium nitrate 10

Potassium chlorate 3

Sulfur 2

Shellac 1

Charcoal, airfloat 0.25

[superspike23]

yes chlorate and sulfur is dangerous.
