When the color is worn off there is no way to bring it back. The hardening of the steel is several thousandths of an inch deep into the steel but the color is just a very thin molecular layer and once it has worn off it’s gone.
Crud (patina) on top of the color can be removed to a great degree but doing so, depending on the gun, must be a very considered decision.
