Topic: What is your favorite color?

Not including gold, silver or bronze because they are, in fact, metals. Indigo and violet are to be included in purple. Pink is getting it's own option despite being a shade of red because it is distinguished enough. Thanks.

It's a metal. The color "gold" is actually just a variation of yellow and brown so please vote for either of those options or kindly leave my thread.

"Of course, the visual sensation usually associated with the metal gold is its metallic shine. This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color, because the shiny effect is due to the material's reflective brightness varying with the surface's angle to the light source."

Silver, gold and copper have similar electron configurations, but we perceive them as having quite distinct colors. Electrons absorb energy from incident light, and are excited from lower energy levels to higher, vacant energy levels. The excited electrons can then return to the lower energies and emit the difference of energy as a photon.
If an energy level (like the 3d band) holds many more electrons (than other energy levels) then the excitation of electrons from this highly occupied level to above the Fermi level will become quite important. Gold fulfills all the requirements for an intense absorption of light with energy of 2.3 eV (from the 3d band to above the Fermi level). The color we see is yellow, as the corresponding wavelengths are re-emitted. Copper has a strong absorption at a slightly lower energy, with orange being most strongly absorbed and re-emitted. In silver, the absorption peak lies in the ultraviolet region, at about 4 eV. As a result, silver maintains high reflectivity evenly across the visible spectrum, and we see it as a pure white. The lower energies (which in this case contain energies corresponding to the entire visible spectrum of color) are equally absorbed and re-emitted.
Transmitted color of gold
Gold is so malleable that it can be beaten into gold leaf less than 100 nm thick, revealing a bluish-green color when light is transmitted through it. Gold reflects yellow and red, but not blue or blue-green. The direct transmission of light through a metal in the absence of reflection is observed only in rare instances.

Here is an idea for you, why don't you marry gold if you love it so much? Or better yet, make a thread and poll and include gold in it!

But where does it stop? If I included gold I would have to include silver, bronze, copper, brass and a of the other metal butt buddies.

One does not marry a color or a metal. OP get your GED and then take a course in high school physics.

Where does it stop? When people like you stop being control freaks.

By color do you mean spectrum, or excuses. colour (Shakespearean word = excuses) I'm so confused, WHICH IS IT> EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!
