What is the green color on the LO brass cases from TTI Armory? Can an average reloader do something similar?

I have been told liver of sulphur might work but have no idea what that is. Moly was also suggested. Would moly increase the thrust on the bolt?

I was told there was a metalurgist on this site that might know about coloring brass cartridges cases. Thanks in advance for any help.

Some years ago I tried liver of sulfur without success. I suspect that a better prepared case would have taken the stain better, but the odor of the concoction deteriorated my enthusiasm for the project before I experienced success.
The local pharmicist had it in stock.

What does Remington use on some of their Turkey and Waterfowl shells to "blacken" the brass.?
