The colour is oxide, so the Ti must have been exposed to oxygen while hot. It's not exactly confidence inspiring that, at best, the welder was in such a rush that they pulled away the shield gas before the weld had cooled. At worst, the Ti wasn't properly gas shielded while molten, in which case the weld will be porous and not long for this world.
