I am pretty sure teh process is called annealing. Many metals turn colors with heat. In fact, titanium will turn all sorts of color depending on the temperature applied. Many artists use this process in metal sculpture. However, UsafaRice is correct. Steel must be heated to an insanely high temp to anneal to a different color.
