What color is titanium? Is it like a metallic blue? I've seen some products advertised as "titanium" colored and I need to know what the color looks like.

Titanium is a metal that can have many many colors. Most often, unrefined, non heat treated titanium will be a dull metallic grey.

Depends on how much titanium is in the titanium you're getting, you know? Titanium by itself is horribly brittle, so they have to alloy it with something else. Results will get you any range of color from golden ( cheap chinese made drill bits) to dark smoke grey (medical grade fasteners). General purpose stuff (watches, bike parts) will be slightly darker than stainless, with a hint of brown to the color.
pure titanium is white. it was used by artists along with ivory to create white colors. however when alloyed, usually with steel, it creates many different colors

Hmm... Well this is what I'm talking about, it looks bluish. Anyone have experience with this piranha trigger frame?
