The appearances of the two are completely different from each other.

Cyanide coloring has streaks or bands apparent. The process produces these bands, and they are a telltale sign. Case coloring will show more blending of shapes and colors, and you can often see different coloration around "features" in the frame (like screw and pin holes). Just looking at several of each will teach you a lot. You should be able to find examples on line.

Also...check out a couple of Josh L.'s for sale ads. The one he notes as a "Reference" gun is a good example of Parker case coloring. His ad for a "unique CHE" will show you an example of cyanide coloring (look at the pictures of the frame bottoms on each gun).
