-----Greenish Color on Anodized Parts
I have to go out for quotes for anodizing our aluminum housings per Mil Spec: MIL-A-8625 / MIL-PRF-8625 [⇦ this spec on DLA] TYPE II CLASS I. When I look at our parts that have had this process they appear to be a greenish color. However, when I read the Mil Spec it mentions the fact that it is a non-dye process. Does the sodium dichromate dip/process produce the greenish color?

Yes. It's not a dye, but it is greenish.
