Why can't I get green?
I've been trying very unsuccessfully to anodize some titanium green. Ive anodized small patches in 5V increments from 5V to 100V and When I get above 55V ish the colors just get more and more faded. The closest I can get to green is essentially aqua, maybe teal at best. I just for the life of me cant get that bright toxic green I see other creators getting all over the place. Attached is the color progression I get. ANY insight or help would be extremely appreciated, im so tired of sanding at cleaning just to fail over and over and over 😅
Metal: CP grade 2 titanium sheet metal. CP grade 2 titanium rod.

Cleaning/degreasing: thoroughly scrub with dawn dish soap and abrasive sponge then thoroughly rinse. Repeat twice then dry and scrub with acetone and lint free cloth with nitrile gloves.

Sorry admins, I dont have an option to add flair otherwise I would have.
