Pretty damn cool.

You know I’m somewhat of a redditor myself.

on 8/23/18 at 9:30 pm to DavidTheGnomeAs an commercial electrician for 20 yrs I have been “oxidized" in all those colors more than once.

Titanium is one of my favorite things and I have almost nothing made of it.

Titanium is one of the so-called reactive metals. This means that it reacts to certain conditions—current or heat, in this case—by developing an oxide layer that appears brightly colored, even though there is no pigment whatsoever. The color is, in a sense, an illusion. The layer varies in thickness according to the degree of heat or the amount of voltage. This oxide layer is quite chemically inert and quite permanent. It is also very thin and transparent. Its transparency allows light to bounce off of both the front and back of the oxide layer. Because the layer corresponds in thickness to wavelengths of light, the bounced light reinforces certain wavelengths (colors) and interferes with others. This causes the oxide layer to appear colored.
