The hottest part of a candle flame is the blue-colored, innermost zone known as the non-luminous zone or the blue cone. This region is located just above the tip of the wick, where combustion is occurring most efficiently. The non-luminous zone typically has the highest temperature in the flame, while the outer parts of the flame, such as the yellowish luminous zone and the darker zone above it, are relatively cooler.
