    In the March or April issue of Lapidary Journal there is an article
    about alloys and various noble metals and it just so happens that the
    colors you are looking for were mentioned. I must warn you though,
    according to the article these colors are custom alloyed and are not
    fabrication/casting friendly (hard and brittle). I will try to pin
    point the article so you won't have to go hunting.
