Some Light Waves Absorbed, Others
Reflected-Copper Is Really
SaImon-Pink Shade.

One of the beautiful things we sell
dom see is the color of pure metals.
When exposed to the air most metals
tarnish so rapidly that our only means
to get even a passing glimpse of their
true color is by quickly scraping of
the corroded surface.
The color of metals depends upon
the selective absorption Of light waves
of different lengths. For instance, II
a metal absorbs every light wave ex.
cept that of the length which pro-
duces the optical sensation yellow,
then its color is yellow, for what it
cannot absorb 1t reflects. Gold is
such a metal. On the other hand,
when gold is beaten to such thinness
that it becomes translucent, it trans
mits not yellow light rays, but those
which it formerly absorbed, namely,
a greenish blue mixture.
Silver is the best example of large
class of metals that reflect practically
all the light they receive, and are
therefore approximately of the same
color as the light to which they are
exposed From their color in the sun
light they are quite properly called
white" metals. Some of these are
aluminium, magnesium. nickel. sodium,
tin, iron and anthony.
Others, like lead, cadmium and
zinc. have something of this silver
luster, but with a slight blush tinge.
The gray metals. such as manganese
and cobalt. probably owe their lack of
color to their tendency to absorb all
colors in about equal amounts Bis
