Uroj,
You have become a product development chemist. You are trying to recreate what others have already done in the realm of proprietary chemistry. Those people have also investigated the reasons for problems using their processes. They know which are from the process and which are due to plating, etc. This is why many people buy proprietary processes - you are not just paying for the chemicals but for the technical expertise of the suppliers employees.

Gene is quite right for most processes but brown/black is very simple chemistry.
Just about any soluble sulfide will give this colour on brass.
