    What color will the explosion of a firecracker be?

    It will be a white flash, as there is no metal to burn, which is what gives off the colors.

    Would adding sulfur to the back powder or on top make any difference?

    It would make it burn longer and maybe increase the strength of the explosion

    Get a small container and fill it with black powder, then make a hole in the top and CAREFULLY insert the firecracker. Stick the fuse through the hole on the top and close the lid.
