Silver (color)
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".
Of course 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 brightness
varying with the surface's angle to the light source. This is why in
art one would usually use a metallic paint that at least glitters
like real silver, as a matte gray color like that of the box 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.
