I anneal different colors at different temps. One of my favorites is GA Triple Passion (similar to Double Amber Purple). I put it into the kiln at 1100 for an hour, then ramp it down. I do flame strike it first, however.

But, occasionally I'll re-anneal a piece to bring the color out. When the color is down inside a lot of clear, that helps. I had a piece using Triple Passion that I made and was having a hard time getting the color to come out. I tried striking it a few times, but it didn't work. So, I put it in the kiln and let it cool. The next day, I ramped it up to 1200 and held it there for an hour. The color came out nice and purple.
