I believe it is blue, but have been argued with that it is white....

speaking of any fire any where, the hotter part of a fire , if the fire was hot enough would be black. it would contain all the colors of the rainbow including white.

Color Of The Hottest Flame

The light spectrum more-or-less corresponds with heat generation. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy requirement (and therefore the "hotter").
From back in grade school, the colors of a rainbow are:
Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet
Ultimately, if we could "see" a violet flame, it would be the hottest. However, our typical visible spectrum stops somewhere between the traditional blue and indigo.
Think about it another way; when you're tuning the flame to a gas torch, the initial flame is white-yellow and isn't (usually) hot enough ... there's too much oxygen in the mix. Reducing the proportion of oxygen colors the flame toward the blue end of the spectrum ... eventually becoming nearly invisible (out toward indigo and violet, of course). Then you can use the torch efficiently ...

The color of the flame results from a combination of the type of fuel and the oxidation. Different fuels even with optimal oxidation, will produce different amounts of heat as measured in BTU's. So color does not correlate to temperature. But the area of the flame (lets say of a match) where the most oxidation takes place is in what called the flame interface, where the fuel vapors are mixed with air. The color of the flame in that area is clear turning to blue.

The hottest part of fire is the blue color that you see.

You are both kinda right - The hotter a fire the more blue it becomes, if it gets really hot it could even turn white - But I can't recall if I've seen white flames in a fire...

Blue flame is oxidized flame or with less carbon particles It is the hottest zone

it's white becuase as heat increases the color of the tempature increases cuasing it to increase to the highes point ot color of heat which makes the heat white
