is the metallic Shade resembling Gray , closest to that of polished Silver .
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 angle to the light source.
