Color of Rotors????

I just bought new brembo rotors (because my old ones were warped...) and they were silver now they are turning yellow.. or they are yellow (the whole rotor not just the part where the pad goes) shouldnt it still be silver??

Re: Color of Rotors???? (SmlMtrEK)

THe rotors are ,metallically, coated with either cadmium or zinc. (Cadmium works better but is very environmentally bad......zinc is safer but doesn't last/work as long. Both are silver in color unless 'color' is added. Thats why sometimes they are yellow.
