Cobalt are a dark coppery brown. Titanium are gold. HSS are generally "natural",
chrome, or black.
If you drill all types of materials, it would be best to own HSS, Cobalt, Titanium,
and a few carbide and diamond coated (still need to buy the diamond coated).
There are types of steel that will resist each of the above. In fact, on my cars,
the exhaust manifold studs, all made of the same material, can each require a
different type to drill it for an extractor! Possibly the heat cycling work hardens
some more than others, but I've worked on a friends car and drilled out 3, and had
to use 4 kinds of coated bits and finally a carbide bit in a Dremel to get it
drilled enough for an extractor.
