The flame color is directly influenced by the chemicals being burned in its path or directly added, mixed with the source(if gaseous) or the material itself being burned off.
copper is like green/blue color. somewhat like that patina color it gives when it is old and weathered.
if you search for a spectrometer, you'll find out more about what material gives off what color when burned up.
some materials will not combust at lower temps so the color will be that of those chemicals with a lower burning temp. in the same sense a higher temp flame will be able to burn away different chemicals which will give away a different a color when being burned off. I guess that is how the whole color intensity identification thing works, not sure though.

btw search for "Spectroscopes" that will help a lot.

The color of a flame is directly affected by the intensity of its heat. Blue flames seem to represent the highest heat intensity and lowering of the heat as it turns into red and orange
