Ceramic coating comes out GREEN to start with. It is really ugly. To get various colors, things get mixed into the ceramic. To get the sliver that most are familiar with they mix Aluim. Oxide into it, to get Black its typically carbon mixed in. You can get most base colors today but the temperature protection will vary with color. The silver is typically limited to ~ 1200 due to the fact the the Aluim. mixed in breaks down at that point, the Black is typically 2000 and is one of the highest temp coatings you can get. All in all, most pipes are NOT coated on the inside, I do not care what they tell you, as it is near impossible to spray the coating on the ID much past the first bend you can see. There are a couple company's that will assure ID coating all the way but it typically cost more than the part they are protecting. The standard silver on the OD of a HD head pipe set runs around $150 to get done in bulk. That does get some on th eID! To get real ID coating the part MUST be new and unused and it takes that to about $400 per head pipe set. It you want to spend the buck's you can also get a double coat which helps when it's done right, done wrong it flakes off, so most will not do it and yes it cost about double for it.
