PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide pure titanium or a titanium alloy which shows excellent discoloration resistance even when used in such a roof and a wallplate as to be used in a hostile environment of acid rain, does not degrade design characteristics for a long period of time, and hardly causes discoloration in the atmospheric environment. SOLUTION: The titanium or titanium alloy which hardly causes discoloration in the atmospheric environment has a titanium nitride layer with a thickness of 0.1 to 1.5μm formed on the surface of the pure titanium or titanium alloy, wherein the titanium nitride layer contains 1 to 35 atom% oxygen by average in the whole layer, and 3 to 15 atom% carbon by average in a region between the titanium surface and a 100 nm deep position therefrom.
