Manufacturers also alter the brightness and color of the flames, which could make them appear fake or not. The orange and yellow flames are the most realistic, and violet or blue flames are not as realistic as real fires. The ember bed could be a factor in determining the realistic look of a fireplace. A ember bed that is illuminated in red can add realistic appearance, as it could look like glowing coals in the traditional fireplace.
