I think a silly early '80's that Colnago ran spoke tons about the emphasis of marketing over quality. The ad showed a relieved Colnago bottom bracket being heated by a torch,heated cherry red. Yup, that's quality.

Welllll..... Dull cherry is appropriate for silver-brazed joints at temp. Orange-ish would be right for some brass alloys. Good thing it wasn't white-hot!
