So Flood, I heated up a burner on my stove until it was glowing red. I took a picture of it with my phone, but on the image, it's glowing a blueish-purple. Why is this? I'll give you guys a hint: it has to do with light being 'shifted'. Also, first person to correctly and fully explain it, gets 100 Microsoft Points. Let the games begin.

Picture.

Great job to Runne NL! He correctly answered the question.

Nope. There was absolutely no color tweaking done. You can try it yourself if you have a burner and a camera phone.

Its day here.

Heat doesn't actually burn red, the hotter an object gets the further it moves down the color spectrum (thus blue stars are millions of degrees hotter than a red giant). To the human eye, this translates to red, similar to how we see pink, even though pink is not an actual color.

When you take a picture of it, it captures the actual colors (blue being the hottest and therefore emitting the most, as it's the most visible form of light) and it over-runs the red, resulting in a blue-purple coloration.

Your average nice guy on The Flood.... D: ..... WAIT A MINUTE....

Your stovetop is emitting gamma rays. You have most likely already developed multiple tumors.

Close, but no cigar. Google 'transpose' and that may help.

It looks like the infra-red colour you get when you look at the emitter of your remote control through a phone's camera. So I'm gonna say the stove emits infra-red light that only your camera can see.
