A signal flare having a container with a plurality of propulsion nozzles in the aft end and having a propellant charge therein. A flare propellant is provided in the forward end of the container and is arranged to be ignited by the burning of the propellant charge. A plurality of flare nozzles are also provided in the aft end of the signal container and a quantity of flare dye is positioned between the flare propellant and the flare nozzles. The contact of hot flare propellant gases with the flare dye causes ablation of the flare dye so that the dye colors the hot flare propellant gases which are dispersed through the flare nozzles.
