It's a bit of the same principle that causes the swirls we often see on motorcycle exhausts to turn bluish, with shades ranging from deep red to purple, through beetle green. These different hues are obviously due to the fact that the temperature and duration of exposure to heat are anything but constant in the case of the exhaust.
I love so much it, do you?
