Description

Aluminum can be colorized by a process called anodization. It creates a layer of aluminum oxide by supplying different voltages which results in different thickness. Unlike titanium, aluminum doesn't get vivid colors from anodization so dyes are used to color it further.

These reference values are based on the most accurate data available at the time and are continually updated as new measurements become available. Depending on the material and the property you're after, there's more or less variability to take into account. Use these values as a starting point, or as validation for existing materials, and then tweak further using your artistic freedom.
