Colored smoke

Colored smoke

Colored smoke is a visually striking effect created by incorporating colorants into smoke-producing substances, typically used in pyrotechnics, entertainment, military applications, and photography. Below is a detailed overview:
How Colored Smoke Works
Colored smoke is produced by burning or vaporizing a mixture that includes:
1. Oxidizers: To support combustion (e.g., potassium chlorate).

2. Fuel: Such as lactose or sugar to sustain the burning process.

3. Dyes or Pigments: Organic or synthetic compounds that vaporize and condense into colored particles in the smoke.

When the mixture burns, the dye particles are released into the air, forming colorful smoke.
