|
Color #0: Unanodized niobium. Shiny medium grey. Looks a little like stainless steel.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #5: Nearly the same as color #0, but a tad warmer. I include it for completeness' sake.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #10: Milk chocolate.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #15: Coffee brown, sometimes with a little plum shimmer around the edges.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #20: Midnight blue or deep eggplant, depending on the anodizer's mood that day. If you need it to be blue, get color #25 instead.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #25: Navy blue. Pretty consistent color.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #30: Light blue.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #35: Ice blue.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #40: I try to get this one right on the blue/yellow border. Like color #35, but warmer.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #45: Pale yellow.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #50: Bright yellow. Pretty consistent color.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #55: Warmer than color #50, more of a golden-orangey color. Sometimes has shades of pink around the edges.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #60: Salmon pink, sometimes with an apricot shimmer.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #65: On the pink/purple border, I think of this one as "fuchsia." Usually more pink than the sample picture shows.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #70: "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. This purple-through-teal range (#65 - #80) is tricky to photograph.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #75: 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!
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #80: Teal. Very rarely there might be a tad of purple hint around the edges, but this is usually a reliable color.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #85: Grass green.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #90: 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.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color #95: Peach? Lime? Tan? Very odd color, and often tricky to get. You'll probably find some troublemaker rings
that are closer to color #90, though I try to pick out the worst of the offenders.
