Colors other than clear or gold for chromated aluminum

Is it possible to achieve any other color than clear or gold via the chromating process for aluminum.

Yes-

It is possible to dye the chromate - we regularly do blue and occasionally red. And letter 11007 talks about different inherent colors the chem-film can come in also based on what chemicals are used to make the baths.
