Discover the sleekness of silver

Silver is one of seven “metals of antiquity” discovered and used by ancient civilizations to create jewelry, currency and ornamental items. The color silver gets its name from the pale grey hue and metallic sheen of the metal itself. Its beauty and rarity led to associations with wealth, but silver also has a mystical side. Ancient alchemists viewed it as a sacred metal connected to the moon, and in European folklore it was believed that silver could repel evil. In the 20th century, the color has become associated with innovation and technological advancement. Today, silver's versatility in design stems from its unique position as both a neutral and dynamic color. It pairs well with any palette, but is dazzling enough to work on its own.

The hex code #C0C0C0 represents pure silver in web design. The RGB values for silver (R: 192, G: 192, B: 192) create its distinctive gray tone through equal parts of red, green, and blue light. Professional print applications use CMYK values of C:0%, M:0%, Y:0%, K:25% to achieve a silver color. Designers frequently adjust these base values to create custom variations that range from bright, reflective silvers to deeper, more muted tones.
