There is an aluminum coloring procedure that involves a two-step electrolytic coloring process. After aluminum is anodized, it is immersed in a bath containing an inorganic metal salt and subjected to an electric current that deposits the metal salt at the base of the pores. Color depends on the metal salt used (for example, tin, copper, nickel, cobalt). This method provides the greatest variation of colors.
