As you can tell by the
pictures on the left, the choice of silver or gold large rings can change the warmth of the niobium colors quite a bit.
Both those pictures show earrings made from the same batch of niobium rings - any perceived color difference is due
only to the silver/gold difference.
Please note that the earring hooks do match the niobium rings within a kit. Color batches vary, but I'm
anodizing hooks and rings in the same batch for these kits, so they're varying together.

Not in the mood for anodized niobium? Make this project in all silver or all gold. And if you're feeling adventurous, get one
of each and swap the large rings.
Please note that these non-niobium kits come with posts, not earwires.

Midnight blue or deep eggplant, depending on the anodizer's mood that day.

"Royal purple" is my target for this one, but it varies by batch. The sample picture looks much more teal than the target rings look in person.

I goofed! I was aiming for color #80, but I got color #75 twice in a row. I won't be making these again (on purpose) so get them
while you can.
Iridescent purple/teal. The most variable color - some batches are closer to purple, some closer to teal, but all will have some color crossover.
Individual rings within a batch may vary, though I try to pick those out. This color is a headache, but it's worth it - my personal favorite!

Teal. Very rarely there might be a tad of purple hint around the edges, but this is usually a reliable color.

Lime green. Usually has a few troublemaker rings that are closer to either #85 or #95 (or both!). When the voltage is this high color gets hard to control,
but I try to pick out the worst of the off-color rings.
