Metallic Color

In terms of physics, how is a metallic color (say, silver) different from a nonmetallic (like gray)?

your question referring to the color of an object has to do with the visible wavelengths of light reflected from it's surface atomic structure and how we then perceive that light with our eyes and our brains assign it a "color"

consider the pigmentation in a gold mylar balloon. the pigmentation added in the production process will contain various amounts of titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, and pulverized mica (yes mica!) [Note that there is no gold used in making an object look golden in color - darn].

it is the presence of these compounds in various ratios that are used to make the surface structure of the mylar (or whatever object you are looking at) reflect the particular blend of wavelengths of visible light that produce a particular "color".

the "color" of an object says nothing about its physical properties, such as strength, heat capacity, quality as an electrical conductor, etc.

don't know if this answered your question or not.
