Comparing a winchester lever gun to a Parker is apples to oranges.

I understand you cant compare them, however I do not want that much blue on my reproduction. I also assume turnbull who did my 71 would do a reproduction with the same process.

For more of an apples-to-apples comparison of original Parker Bros. colors to those of shops offering re-casecoloring of Parker Reproductions, I would have preferred to have found an original Parker Bros. DH grade in absolute pristine condition as it appeared when it left the factory. But instead, this Trojan is the best I could find -- it is described as "museum quality" and "with almost 100% vibrant color". We can each decide for ourselves which shop or shops are most closely replicating original Parker Bros. colors -- if that is the goal.

As I understand it, different processes are used for different types of guns. But that would really be a question better asked directly to and confirmed by the actual shop doing the work. I have had a lot of Repros colored by Turnbulls shop and they all have turned out great. But most of them were A-1 specials with full coverage engraving, so there is not much point in posting photos of them here since they would not compare completely to a DHE.

Processes aside, you have different materials of very different designs that will also effect the end result.
