As the coating process for stainless steel is much different than titanium, it could be possible that the dye is simply not able to give off a vibrant hue.

The iPhone colors are always a big part of the hype behind the products, and that's also the reason why Apple introduces a special colorway in the first quarter of the next year for the latest iPhone series.
