That muddy chocolate brown with a couple of blue splashes does nothing for me. It may be okay for a british gun but for a classic American gun like a Parker it certainly won’t do.
I would like to see a gun smith or restoration specialist reproduce REPEATABLE realistic iridescent case colors that we can tone down with rottenstone or Flitz to something more eye-appealing than some of the colors that are being done in America today.
These days I see too much dark blue, too much brown, too much straw, and not enough iridescent color.

I came across Tyler Gun Works a while back. He's in Fritch, TX. I like his case colors. I haven't seen a pic of a shotgun, but he does a lot of pistols, a few lever rifles, and even knives, axes, golf clubs, etc.
