I couldn't find the first site I found some colors on, but they did agree on the ones found up above as well.  But that also looks like they used some sort of aqua regia or had a dichromate salt present.

Now I need to bring a silver coin and some crappy silver trinkets into school and drop them in acid to get to the bottom of this or I won't be able to sleep all week
