銀色Gin-iro
ぎんいろ · Silver · family gray
A named color for silver.
銀色 (Gin-iro) is catalogued here as silver. The metallic gray of polished silver leaf.
Tobunken records the underlying color/material term in the Nara-period vocabulary database derived from 『大日本古文書』; this supports historical name attestation, not measured sRGB.
Name appears in at least one CC BY-SA Wikipedia traditional Japanese color list; HEX remains a Chroma Cathay digital approximation for design use.
Traditional color names predate modern screen color spaces, so this HEX value is a design approximation rather than a material measurement.
