Colouring the knife by tempering

Hi all

I was wondering if it is possible to colourise your blade by tempering?
After finishing HT I rather quickly temper the blade before doing the finial finish.

Is it possible to "re temper" after you have done all finish and after the initial temperingcycle to reach something like a light straw colour on the blade for final finish?

I guess it would require a thorough cleaning to make sure no residues is on the blade.

This is just a general question, but for the currentblade i'm speaking of, the steel is 80CRV2.

Hope you can help me out :-)

Rasmus
