Silver

#CDC5C2

Crayola color

Silver (#CDC5C2) is the Crayola crayon version of silver, a warm, slightly pinkish grey that reads more as a warm pewter than a cool metallic silver. The warmth and softness make it ideal for drawing metallic objects, reflective surfaces, and winter scenes in children's illustration without the cold neutrality of a pure grey. Crayola's silver has been a classic crayon for depicting armour, jewellery, and the moon in countless school art projects.
