Standards for titanium anodizing are given by AMS 2487 and AMS 2488. AMS 2488 Type III anodizing of titanium generates an array of different colors without dyes, for which it is sometimes used in art, costume jewellery, body piercing jewellery and wedding rings. The color formed is dependent on the thickness of the oxide (which is determined by ...
Colors achievable through the anodization of titanium. Dyes are not necessary to color anodized titanium. The color that results on a titanium ring depends on the thickness of the oxide coating, which is determined by the anodizing voltage. The image to the left shows the color spectrum range that can be achieved by anodizing.

anodizing – electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer, producing a porous surface which can accept organic or inorganic dyes easily. In the case of titanium, niobium, and stainless steel, the colour formed is dependent on the thickness of the oxide (which is determined by the anodizing voltage).
Titanium may be anodized to vary the thickness of the surface oxide layer, causing optical interference fringes and a variety of bright colors. [124] With this coloration and chemical inertness, titanium is a popular metal for body piercing. [125] Titanium has a minor use in dedicated non-circulating coins and medals.
As the article says, the colors possible are almost limitless. They are achieved by adding dye, and there are lots of different dyes in the world. The titanium chart shows the colors you can get without any dye. Aluminum anodizing just looks like aluminum without any dye. Ccrrccrr 01:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
