IS THIS SOMETHING NEW (never seen 3/8x10 quik-release)

Those colored pins are anodized aluminum. Uni-Loc did that at first and then they had pins out there with the color coming off after months of play, so they abandoned that method. I suspect these pin makers will have the same experience down the road.
If you are threading pins into wood, phenolic or plastics the anodizing will be fine. I wouldn't thread into brass or any other metal though. I have been using anodized pin into wood for years with no issues. Having said that where I get my anodizing done, they have different options. Not all anodizing wears the same. Good anodizing leaves a hardened surface the colour is just an added bonus.
 
Update:
Michael Webb returned my cue 2 week's ago, I've since fitted it with 1 Rhino CF and 1 McDermott Gcore.
Super , thank you Michael.
