Color mixing - titanium silver?

Interestingly, silver varies in "color".  Freshly polished silver is pretty bright (in the high 90s % reflectivity), but it does slowly oxidize and turn more gray.  It can get pretty dark after a few centuries :-)  It is, however, quite neutral in color.

Tamiya has Titanium Silver in their paint line. (X-32 Titanium Silver). Basically, the color is silver no matter how you slice it. Silver is silver. There is no need to mix colors.

 

Tamiya makes a silver and a gold Titanium shade. While they are both metallics, neither is a true "silver". Just like their aluminum is not a true silver color either. Each has its different appearance from the other. Use them to get that nice multi panel look on NMF aircraft.

Titanium is definitely darker than silver or aluminum.  I mix some gunmetal color into aluminum paint, and sometimes just a single drop of red or orange.  Not all titanium I see has the reddish cast.

I have a Testors model kit that asks for Titanium. It says to add 18 drops of orange to a 1/4 oz bottle of Testors silver, as titanium naturally has an orange tint. I mixed it and prefer 23 drops of orange

 This would still come out as a silver .The shading wouldn't be much different than chrome silver .What I did was take a square bottle of Testore " Chrome Silver " and add two small drops of " Flat White " to break the shine .

 As has been said silver by any other name is still silver . A little shinier or a little duller . The only difference I see is in antique silver that has the age patina on it .  T.B.
