Hard chrome plating with colour

I'm looking for the possibility to hard chrome plating (30 microns) adding a colour (example: red) during the process. Is it possible ?

I have never heard of it and am quite sure that it has not been achieved, Pietro.

A red dye similar to what is used on zinc plating might serve as an initial color code or part identification, but its color lifespan in use will be extremely short.
