No, that's not a colorist's mistake. This is the first appearance of the Golden Age character The Blue Flame, from Captain Flight #11 (February, 1947).
Not only did this guy look identical to (except for the color) and have the same powers as Timely's the Human Torch, when he dropped his flame his costume was the same as the Torch's sidekick, Toro.
The similarities are so close it's a wonder Timely (the company that eventually became Marvel Comics) didn't sue. Maybe, they didn't think it was worth firing up (pun intended) their lawyers.
That's because the Blue Flame only had this one appearance, and Captain Flight was canceled right after this issue was released. Heck, the comic business was in such a tailspin after World War ll that the publisher, Farrell Publications, was out of business the next year (don't worry; they got better a few years later).
As for the Blue Flame himself, other than his powers and appearance, he's pretty much a mystery. His identity, secret or otherwise, is never revealed, and there is no explanation of how he gained his powers. Heck, we don't even know if he's a really a human, or an android like the Human Torch. I guess that since he was just a one-shot wonder it doesn't really matter.

why do fake fireplaces always just have fake decorative logs? They could put anything in there.

Hey if you're new to tumblr don't worry about people telling you not to come here because it's "dead" or a "hell site" or "the users will force you to eat bees", it's actually pretty cool, no matter what the rest of the internet keeps telling you. Oh, and you totally won't need those crosses and garlic they gave you. Yeah, no, I don't know why they broke down weeping and told you that for your mother's sake you should stay away from this website. Maybe a joke about the history of nsfw content I guess? Anyways, come on in, we've been eagerly awaiting your visit.

I hope this philosophical mumbo-jumbo (he said with love) gets to a teenager who needs it. I probably would have ate it up back in the day.

Hi long rambling oc thoughts below the cut
I have this one oc who's this neat incomprehensible being. They appear different to each person. Total gender nightmare. All pronouns, no pronouns, lvl 100 gender
Anyways they're the patron for my Black Knight oc and they see it so funky. Like yes bitch, perceive it with the WORST bangs ever. That'll do you so good.
The Blue Flame doesn't have a lot of power in the realm of the living so they gotta make pacts. Normally, due to the destructive nature of power, these pacts do not last more than a few years. The Black Knight is so intriguing to her because they literally can't die. It's like giving a cat the best toy ever. I totally imagine after a few centuries the two would bicker like an old married couple <3
