    I have seen some of those colors develop on kitchen knives. Orange and blue. Potatos can do funny things to blank carbon steel. So in a way, 'color' can have multiple reasons. The telltale in this case is the pattern. The colors are progressing in a standard progression from blue to straw. The colors also progress more or less symmetrically from a central location.

    Those 2 things together are proof enough that this is heat damage with a typical pattern, instead of the pseudo random pattern of discolorations that could be acid based.
