Chemical coloring of metals is the process of changing the color of metalsurfaces with different chemical solutions. According to David Fishlock:
"Basically there are only two methods of coloring a metal:
(1)By coating the metal with some other metal by means of such a process as electrodeposition
(2)By converting the metal surface into an oxide or salt which is colored or capable of absorbing coloring materials,or which produce color by interference."[1]
