The generation of blue‐light‐emitting pyrotechnic formulations without the use of chlorine‐containing compounds is reported. Suitable blue‐light emission has been achieved through the generation of molecular emitting copper(I) iodide. The most optimal copper(I) iodide based blue‐light‐emitting formulation was found to have performances exceeding those of chlorine‐containing compositions, and was found to be insensitive to various ignition stimuli.
