I usually get:
Dark Blue->25v
Pale blue—>40v
Yellow—>55-65 (depending on surface finish and time)
Deep reddish violet—>80-90v (depending …)
Green—>95-110v (depending …)

I’ve figured it out and I’m now getting even colors. What I did was that I replaced the lamps; the dimmer stabilizer with a 200 Watt instead of 100 and the capacitor drain with a 40 Watt instead of 60. This gave me an out put of 280 Volts max. As for the connection what I did was that I placed the Ti piece in the solution and then raised the voltage to maximum out put before closing the circuit. Later when I connect the circuit the voltage keeps rising and the color keeps changing evenly. Once the desired color is reached I open the circuit. I’ve also made some notes on the colors vs voltage and they are quiet different than Mr.Titanium’s. For example:
Pale blue—>60v
Yellowish green—>80v
Yellow—>95
Deep reddish violet—>126v
Blue/Teal—>150v
Teal—>157
Thanks again
