Flames in microgravity are a strong blue color and are perfectly round. They have none of the turbulence and changing colors associated with fire on earth. I’d love to see a large scale fire in space (a controlled experiment, not a burning space station!!). You can find more info at CFM in Space. It explains in detail many experiments conducted in the Space Shuttle and MIR on candle flames.
