Excellent work 
Would you like a “gentleman’s” bet regarding first to full colour?

@jkwilborn , you have a thermal color chart for titanium? 
@Deepspace some beautiful work. Can’t imagine how much time you’ve spent doing this. Thanks for posting them.
I don’t trust many of the items I find on the Internet. 
I keep my eye open for them. Some of these get copied, their names changed and other things so with these you have to kind of compare around to guess you’re getting something close.
This is the best I’ve seen from this site that deals with Titanium. 
These kind of temperatures and their duration makes them next to impossible to measure in any real way for a hobbyist.
If you’re interested in this, someone, posted a pair of links that I found very interesting about how the color is formed… at a pretty low level. Sometimes they refer to these as plasmonic colors.

If nothing else, it has some nice photos.
sometimes I have problems just making black.
Have fun

The influence of process parameters on the laser-induced coloring of titanium paper might be of help.

You got one for us guys that do not have a fiber laser?
Ugh! Still too much for my Fixed Income Budget. Loosely translated, that is about half my annual house payment.

Would you please suggest me parameters for color engarving on stainless steel and titanium?
@Deepspace Do you cut your own tokens? if so where do you get the material and what width are you using?
Sorry for the late reply. I have my own production related to metalworking. We have a laser cutting machine for metal. We have no problems with titanium sheet metal. We use a thickness of +1.5mm. If thinner, the metal will bend from the temperature. If you need blanks, we can make them. My contacts are in the profile.
I haven’t posted anything for a long time. And we’ve done a lot of things.
size - 280x240mm

Beautiful work.
I quit trying to do color with my fiber, too many variables.
As we say, “patience and labor will grind everything down.” More than one person does this work for me. Designer-technologist, engraving technologist. And of course not the first time. It’s really not easy, but the result is inspiring.
