PSA: A batch of 'cold blue' solution from a vendor in Phoenix turned a customer's barrel purple.

I used it on a 1911 slide last Tuesday, followed the instructions exactly. The metal came out with a deep purple tint instead of the usual black. Anyone know what causes this reaction with certain steels?

My buddy's AR turned pink last year.

Purple sounds kind of cool though. Is it really a problem if it still protects the metal?
