I'd gotten it into a really ugly mottled dark blue by putting header wrap on it for a month. That held the heat in and blued it very badly. I like the ceramic though. The pipe doesn't radiate heat near as much as before.

There actually is what may be considered two golds, or maybe you want to call the second gold a brown. Somewhere I remember seeing an temp chart with different shades and what temp will cause it. It could be from my days playing with old Jeeps.

The last color below should cause you some alarm as I vaguely remember the metal has to get red hot to cool down to "gray".

Light Gold > Blue > dark Gold (brown) > Gray

Yeah maybe something like:

Honey -> Blue -> Bronze -> Pewter

I really loved the honey color I had. Then I had to go and experiment with header wrap and it turned ugly pretty quickly.
