I saw video of this Snody MokuTi and it has uncommon vivid color... base on experience working with 6AL4V and pure Ti...

I wish to know how to get the color like that? Torch heating to aimed color and quench multiple times for the deeper/richer color?

Dont heat it multiple times, just take it to a polish over 600grit, clean thoroughly and then heat. The color and contrasts comes from your control of the flame, the more you evenly heat the less the variation, the more you concentrate on one are the more it progresses in color range.

A big factor is the type of moku-ti, timascus, zircu-ti, black timascus etc. You can also do some very cool things with anodizing timascus type materials

Thanks man, have you ever try electric anodizing mokuti?
 
Yup, you don't get as much contrast in color that most people want. You tend to get the same color just different shades. Heat ano is the way to go for the effect most people are looking for.
