I've always wondered the answer to this, but what would you think the color of a mirror is?

I've imagined it to be a silver, what about you?

Pretty weird thread question. But nevertheless, it really makes you think...I am not entirely sure, I think it would be like a chrome-ish or silver color. It reflects all light it receives through specular reflection. It mostly looks silver, but most mirrors (at least the good ones) reflect all light in one direction equally to what it receives. So although it may look or appear silver, it basically just reflects whatever colors that are being shown. They also reflect green light which often gives images it reflects a greenish tinge. But as for color, all I can basically say is that it reflects all that is shown, at least a perfect mirror would, even though most mirrors aren't perfect. 

Good question by the way, this really gets your brain working which is always good!

I've always thought that it was silver too, though I don't understand what it is about mirrors that make them look silver, since they just reflect whatever is nearby. I think the correct answer might be green, I can't remember too well though.

Octarine of course. (Really hope someone gets it)

Being scientific, I think it is several colours: Red, blue and yellow.

I have watched some video's on this, actually. Most notable Vsauce's. All the video's I watched said it's green.

I, as a teenage boy on a community, will trust the internet on this one. Oh yeah, Here's Vsauce's video

Well v-sauce says that mirrors do indeed refract the most green light out of all other colors, ever had a bathroom with a big mirror and a smaller mirror that operates as a medicine cabinet? If you open the cabinet the small mirror will reflect on the big one creating an endless hallway of mirrors that appears green

Most mirrors consist of a piece of glass with an aluminum backing. The aluminum is polished so much that it reflects light.
So, you're right in the guess that the color of a mirror would be silver - If you look at them from the side you can see the metallic sheen of the aluminum under the glass.

alexanyways : I saw this on Vsauce earlier. Who knows what color is a mirror? I'm guessing it has no color or anything, who knows? Or it could be silver like you used to say. Once again, who knows? If there is  color, please reply to this and show me some proof.

First of all a mirror can't be no color, since it reflects back all light to your eye. Black is no color. I think that a mirror is the color of what color of light hits it and reflects back to your eye. For example, if red light hits a mirror, then the mirror would be red.

I'd guess it'd be a monochrome silver or grey... Not exactly sure.

I suppose it's like a 'chameleon'- it changes its color to show everything else.

Mirrors are actually clear, but are tinted green. Like someone earlier said, the only way to find out what a mirror's color is would be to have a mirror reflecting another mirror. In the vast sea of mirrors, you would see that they are in fact tinted green.

I never really thought that a mirror had any specific color. I suppose it would be some sort of a Silver tint now that I think of it.
