What is the color of a mirror?

[Stefan]

While I was looking at my fabulous self after taking a shat this afternoon, I wondered, what color is a mirror?

 

If a mirror reflects all, what color could it have?

[olyclimber]

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

[Alan]

Flesh tone. In this case, caucasian.

[Dru]

Mirrors are the color of the things they reflect. Duh.

 

But, how come you can't smell the inside of your own nose?

[Alex]

When I look in the mirror, all I see is yella.

There's no such thing as a perfect reflector.

"I see..." said the blind man to the deaf dog.

 

Hey - good seeing you today!

[EWolfe]

Yeah, Buddy! You too!

[Dechristo]

But all cats are ghey in the dark.

 

Their nocturnal vocal emissions could lead one to wonder.

Mirrors are the color of the glass that the silver backing is applied to. i.e. clear glass = clear mirror, bronze colored glass = bronze mirror

[mec]

isn't that the color of the glass, and not the mirror?

Not as far as the industry is concerned. The color/quality of the reflective backing material never changes only the color of the material that it is applied to. Once the two are combined the industry only identifies the color of the mirror by the color of glass to which it was applied.

What mirrors are you talking about? A mirror simply produces non-diffuse reflection. There are plenty of others besides the Al/Silver backed one in your home. This includes those cool colored oakley sunglasses, polished gold, normal glass (a good mirror for some wavelength ranges), and a whole host of other configurations.

Sorry, should have been more clear, I was speaking strictly of residential and commercial construction applications only.

What colour is an X-ray?

[Cobra_Commander]

very white indeed.

 

I think the crayola color is Chernobyl mauve.

[Dru]

Bees can see into the ultraviolet spectrum.

[Cobra_Commander]

hmm I wonder if they get sunburns

[Dru]

On their retinas?

Stefan, you are what is wrong with America.

I help make the bell curve what it is!
