Do not fool with changing the case colors, one could warp the frame in the process !! Not worth the gamble.

Actually annealing before case hardening removes the risk of parts warpage. All competent restorers will anneal the parts before case hardening. I have seen a few parkers that were case hardened without annealing and the floor plate on them didn't fit right. If you decide to have a gun re-cased, make sure it is a competent restorer who anneals the parts first.
