Is anyone watching the countdown on NASA-Tv? At certain points, they switch to a view of the pad fron a distance, and you can see a red flame to the right of the pad. That can't be hydrogen, since it burns with a clear white flame. What is that?

It's the hydrogen flame tower, probably just a weird backlight, or an additive to make the flame visible.
