  Glad to see some bismuth love, but c’mon.

  • “Every single metal element” then calls out copper & gold separately.
  • No respect for chromium, which probably has more colorful compounds than any metal.
  • No cobalt either?
  • Manganese is quite coppery; palladium and ytterbium can be gold-ish.

  I know it’s an oxide, but you allowed bismuth!

  I wonder if there are some metals that appear grey to us but actually have a color, we just don’t see it because it’s outside our visible spectrum

    Uranium is neon blue:

      … when charged particles move faster than the speed of light

      So that got me curious, and found this

      nothing travels faster than light in vacuum, but light can be slowed down and something can travel faster than this “slower” light

      Somehow I’ve gone through decades of life without knowing this…

      uranium itself isn’t, anything will glow that colour if it undergoes nuclear fission underwater.

    That is the very definition of colour. The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see. The rest of the scale includes infrared, gamma or X-ray. If you want, you can call them invisible colours - or you can call green superhighultraviolet.

      In everyday context yes, but it’s pretty common to use “colour” to refer to frequency outside the visible range, and it’s interesting to consider what interesting “colours” we are missing out on because they’re outside our visible range.

      Silver/grey implies even response across the spectrum, and is the normal expectation.

      If we couldn’t see yellow (red/green) then gold would presumably look silver to us, so are there silver/grey metals that would have an interesting colour if only we could see it?

      If a bee sees a color we cannot, it would be pretty silly to insist it’s not a color on the basis of us being unable to see it, wouldn’t it?

      Well infrared goes the other direction. Along with radio.

  What about pyrite? Or Iron Maiden?

  • Ashiette@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Pyrite isn’t a metal. It’s an oxide.

      That’s what it wants you to believe.

  Not sure why, I don’t even live in the US, but I recognize them
