Silver is the metallic
shade of the
color gray closest to that of polished
silver. In
heraldry there is no distinction between silver and
white, represented as "
argent".
The visual sensation usually associated with the metal silver is its metallic shine. This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color, because the shiny effect is due to the material's brightnessvarying with the surface angle to the light source. Consequently in
art one would normally use a metallic paint that glitters like real silver. A matte grey color like the swatch on this page would not be considered silver.
Since version 3.2 of
HTML "silver" is a name for one of the 16 basic-
VGA-colors.
* In English heraldry argent (silver) or white signified brightness, purity, virtue, or innocence. (The American Girls Handy Book, p.369)
*Silver is the traditional color of
race cars sponsored by
German automakers.
