The trigger guard itself is rust blued like the barrels. The rainbow color of the receiver and side plates is a bi product of case hardening those parts, Case hardening is like giving the metal parts an exoskeleton like shell to protect it from wear. It is a traditional process used on guns in this era, and fine guns today. The colors are fragile and will wear off in time from carrying and UV exposure.
