silvery-white
Like polished platinum
Silvery-white describes a pale, lustrous color with metallic sheen—the hue of polished silver, moonlight, or certain metals like platinum and aluminum: silvery-white hair, the silvery-white gleam of the fish's belly.
The compound emphasizes both the metallic quality and the lightness of the shade.
