silvery
Like polished metal
Silvery describes a light gray color with metallic sheen, like polished silver: silvery hair, the silvery surface of the lake.
The word extends to sounds—clear, light, and ringing: silvery laughter, a silvery voice.
Moonlight is often called silvery for its pale, luminous quality.
