As I noted in an earlier post, I seem to remember an article
which described the champagne 4Ti as having top and bottom
plates of natural titanium. So the color would seem to be
all natural. Of course, I may be mistaken.

They appear to have corrected the problem with the 3Ti---not
that that is any help to black-bodied 4Ti owners!
