What about having small glass oil lamps or hurricane lamps on every table, filled with trimethyl borate (a mix of methanol and boric acid *should* do it), and having a low wick? These make a lovely green flame.

Also, in the main fireplace you could occasionally toss a handful of a pyrotechnic colorant (lithium chloride for an intense red, borax or copper sulfate for green, copper chloride for blue, or potassium sulfate + potassium nitrate for purple). Either have the propietor/bard/etc. toss them in, or build a fireproof device in the top of the fireplace that releases a sprinkle of one of the poweders at regular intervals (or when triggered).
