Thanks for the replies, what we did is take known processes a major step forward. We have learned that we can controll colors, intensity, depth, hues and patterns by regulating the variables. Temperature, oxygen, carbon, inert composits, viscosity of quench, etc. in our formulas we adjust twenty different ratios to achieve various results. The Parker magenta and purple are the hardest to achieve and the least seen, due to the fact that they wear off first with handling. Light blue, straw and burnt umber are relatively easy.
We have identified at least three different phases in the lineage of parker colors. The cyanide colors are a different story. The early guns looked substantially different than more current ones. You can't compare a lifter with a VHE, they are totally different. But, yes we can achieve any range of colors that are deemed correct.
