Hi Heinz! The purple you are refering to is called pigeon blue by spring makers... this is the desired color when drawing a spring back from a hard quench! You are correct in that it is fleeting color!... That is why most springs today are made in climate controlled environments! It is also the reason old world spring makers are known as wizzards! till...later...G.T. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
