Titanium is a "white" metal with a slight charcoal gray hue. Its natural color is darker and deeper than silver or white gold. It could be compared to platinum, with that specific "smoked" hue in addition. Titanium is a reactive metal; it can be anodized in different colors.There is a wide variety of titanium grades and alloys available on the market today, from basic grades to extra-hard titanium. Titanium is a reactive metal and can be anodized in different colors (by thermal or electrolytic processes), however this treatment is not permanent. An anodized titanium piece of jewelry worn continuously would rapidly appear scratched and discolored, unless the anodizing treatment is applied on a recessed design, (less prone to be exposed to abrasion) or adequately protected.
