What is silver? What is gold?

OK, I know this is a strange question but, what is silver? And what is gold? The colors I mean. Black and white makes grey. So what is silver? Yellow and green make a yellower green. So what is gold?

Listening to Blair 1523 and Dimentia 13 made me ask these question. No, true!

    Silver & Gold

    In the shithouse a shotgun
    Praying hands hold me down.
    If only the hunter was hunted
    In this tin can town, tin can town.
    No stars in the black night
    Looks like the sky fall down.
    No sun in the daylight
    Looks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground.

    The warden says "The exodus sold."
    If you want a way out...
    Silver and gold, silver and gold.

    Broken back to the ceiling
    Broken nose to the floor.
    I scream at the silence
    It's crawling, crawls under the door.
    There's a rope around my neck
    And there's a trigger in your gun.
    Jesus, say something!
    I am someone, I am someone.

    Captains and Kings in the ship's hold
    They came to collect
    Silver and gold, silver and gold.

    I seen the coming and the going
    Seen the captains and the Kings.
    Seen their navy blue uniforms
    Seen them bright and shiny things, bright and shiny things.

    The temperature is rising
    The fever white hot
    Mister I ain't got nothing
    But it's more than you've got
    These chains no longer bind me
    Nor the shackles at my feet
    Outside are the prisoners
    Inside the free (set them free).

    A prize fighter in a corner is told
    Hit where it hurts - For Silver and Gold
    You can stop the world from turning around
    You just gotta pay a penny in the pound
    For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
    That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

    The colors of light?
    The colors of paint?
    The colors of tangible objects?

    The recipes/ or mixes for each Media is vastly different.

    More info... on which kind of silver or gold.?

    Lighting mixes are the most confusing.

    Well, sort of. We got the "basic" version. Which is probably why I have this ongoing curiosity about how to mix colors to make colors!

    No, but I'd check a color-mixing table if I had one. Or maybe I should just buy a few gold coins and melt them down to paint with. :D

    Having the full 64 box was a big status symbol when I was in grade school! :lol:
    I never had one either. :(

    from wiki..

    "silver is a metallic color although it would be possible to mix a small amout of black to white as an experiment


    I tried using some gold paint ( or yellow) and extremely little black with mostly white and got a semi shiny gray color."

    "Silver would be nearly impossible to mix, since it isn't really a color, but a "metal." Unlike green or brown which could be mixed relatively easily, you would have to buy special products making it almost cost prohibitive. It would be much easier to just buy the paint. If you can't afford to spend any extra money at this time, try painting them gold (you can mix a deep yellow) and use some golden glitter, or simply paint them a color. White on a dark background would provide an intense contrast."

    "Metallic paints are made of all kinds of exotic materials like ground up dried fish scales and stuff that would be difficult to buy. If you have left over iridescent eye shadow and clear paint base(Polymer medium) you could mix them, but that probably would cost more than the paint"

    You don't even want to see what model train enthusiast's have to say. They paint little train toys as a hobby! :lol: Now on to gold... I'm kidding. We all know it's tricky. I made gold on a photograph I developed. I left it in a chemical for 3 days (I forgot about it). My photography teacher was very impressed, then she was angry because it was a mistake and I couldn't tell her how it happened.

    My best answer is do it by accident, or buy it. ;)

    You mean the Periodic Table of Elements?
  • Oh and STAYSEA is correct.. Except that the metals are made up of
    such unique mineral compounds that there are no two
    ounces of either alike until they are smelted...
    I say go with her suggestions, she's a smart one miss STAYSEA!

    No cheating! :lol: It must be mixed!

    Someone around here suggested, "Maybe they use real silver in silver paint."

    To which I replied, "But what about all those millions of gate fold "Wheels of Fire" LPs that were mostly silver colored. Real silver in all those? I don't think so!"

    Buzzer sound.

    Try again!

    (And while your at it, would someone please tell that full moon to go to sleep so I can too! :lol: )

    Take a break from Green River and listen to Silver and Gold.

    This thread meanders like a stream... :lol:
