A typical heating element is usually a coil, ribbon (straight or corrugated), of strip of wire that gives off heat much like a lamp filament. When an electric current flows through it, it glows red hot and converts the electrical energy passing through it into heat, which it radiates out in all directions.
Depending on the temperature, fire can be many different colours. Red being the coolest, yellow and orange being pretty hot, blue is extremely hot, and white being the hottest (most commonly found in space with stars, suns, etc.). Though fire can achieve different colours, such as green, purple, etc. The most common or well-known colours are; red, orange, yellow, blue, and white. So really, fire can be a range of colours between red and white, depending on the temperature and other variables.
