It is a pure [[chroma]] on the [[colour wheel]] between blue and [[cyan]]. The [[complementary colour]] of azure is [[orange]].

''Azure'' is often used in [[France]] to describe the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. ==Where the name comes from== The word ''azure'' comes from the [[Persian language|Persian]] لاژورد ''lazhward''. Lazhward was the name of a place. This place was famous for a kind of deep blue stone. Now we call this stone "[[lapis lazuli]]". This means "stone of Lazhward". The word came to [[Old French]] by the twelfth century. The French used this word to talk about the colours of [[coat of arms|coats of arms]]. From the [[French language|French]] it the word came to the [[English language|English]]. The first recorded use of ''azure'' as a colour name in English was in [[1374]]. <ref> Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 190 </ref> {{clear}} ==Heraldry== [[Image:Heraldic_Shield_Azure.svg|left|122px|Azure tincture]] In [[heraldry]], the word ''azure'' simply means "[[blue]]". Azure is said to represent [[Jupiter]] and [[sapphire]]s. It belongs to the class of [[Tincture (heraldry)|tinctures]] called "colours". In [[engraving]], it is sometimes depicted as a region of horizontal lines or else marked with either '''az.''' or '''b.''' as an abbreviation. In addition to the standard blue tincture called azure, there is a lighter blue sometimes found that is called [[bleu celeste]] or "sky blue". Neither azure nor bleu celeste is precisely defined as a particular shade of blue, but azure is consistently depicted in a much darker shade. ==Shades of Azure Colour Comparison Chart== <ul> <li style = "background-color: #f0ffff;"> Azure Mist (web colour "Azure") (Hex: #F0FFFF) (RGB: 240, 255, 255)</li> <li style = "background-color: #e0ffff;"> [[Baby blue|Baby Blue]] (Hex: #E0FFFF) (RGB: 111, 255, 255)</li> <li style = "background-color: #93ccea;"> Light Cornflower Blue (Crayola Cornflower) (Hex: #93CCEA) (RGB: 147, 204, 234)</li> <li style = "background-color: #87Cefa;"> Light Sky Blue (web colour) (Hex: #87CEFA) (RGB: 135, 296, 250)</li> <li style = "background-color: #87ceeb;"> Sky Blue (web colour) (Hex: #87CEEB) (RGB: 135, 206, 235)</li> <li style = "background-color: #76d7ea;"> Medium Sky Blue (Crayola Sky Blue) (Hex: #76D7EA) (RGB: 118, 215, 234)</li> <li style = "background-color: #00bfff;"> Deep Sky Blue (web colour) (Turquoise Blue) (Hex: #00BFFF) (RGB: 0, 191, 255)</li> <li style = "background-color: #42adde; color: #ffffff"> Ukrainian Azure (Colour of Ukrainian Flag) (Hex: #42ADDE) (RGB: 66, 173, 222)</li> <li style = "background-color: #5b92e5; color: #ffffff"> United Nations Azure (Hex: #5B92E5) (RGB: 91, 146, 229)</li> <li style = "background-color: #6495ed; color: #ffffff"> Cornflower Blue (web colour) (Hex: #6495ED) (RGB: 100, 149, 237)</li> <li style = "background-color: #1e90ff; color: #ffffff"> [[Dodger blue|Dodger Blue]] (web colour) (Hex: #1E90FF) (RGB: 30, 144, 255)</li> <li style = "background-color: #007fff; color: #ffffff"> Azure (Hex: #007FFF) (RGB: 0, 127, 255)</li> <li style = "background-color: #0066ff; color: #ffffff"> Deep Azure (Crayola Blue) (Hex: #0066FF) (RGB: 0, 102, 255)</li> <li style = "background-color: #0066cc; color: #ffffff"> Medium Navy Blue (Crayola Navy Blue) (Hex: #0066CC) (RGB: 0, 102, 204)</li> <li style = "background-color: #1560bd; color: #ffffff"> Denim (Same as Crayola Denim) (Hex: #1560BD) (RGB: 21, 96, 189)</li> <li style = "background-color: #005b99; color: #ffffff"> Swedish Azure (Colour of Swedish flag) (Hex: #005B99) (RGB: 0, 91, 153)</li> <li style = "background-color: #0038a8; color: #ffffff"> Dark Azure (Pantone Blue #286) (Hex: #0038A8) (RGB: 0, 56, 186) </li> {{colours}} ==References== <references/> [[category:colors]] [[ca:Atzur]] [[da:Azur]] [[de:Azur]] [[en:Azure (color)]] [[eo:Lazuro]] [[es:Azur]] [[fa:نیلی (رنگ)]] [[fr:Azur (héraldique)]] [[he:תכלת]] [[it:Azzurro (colore)]] [[pl:Lazur]] [[ru:Лазурь]] [[sv:Azur]] [[vi:Xanh da trời]] 98 661287 2008-01-04T05:56:59Z 77.81.188.116 Added the equivalent romanian page [[ro:negru]] {{colorswatch|black}} [[Category:Basic English 850 words]] '''Black''' is really the lack of all [[light]] and [[color]], although many people refer to it as: "the color black". Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. Black is a color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It can have a negative meaning (blacklist, 'black death') or a positive meaning ('in the black', 'black is beautiful'). Black can stand for strength and authority. It can be a [[formal]], elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief. Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background makes it hard to read. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner. When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black or gray background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange – other very powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme. {{colors}} [[Category:Colors]] [[ar:أسود]] [[arc:ܐܘܟܡܐ]] [[ay:Ch'iyara]] [[az:Qara]] [[bs:Crna]] [[ca:Negre]] [[cs:Černá]] [[cy:Du]] [[da:Sort]] [[de:Schwarz]] [[el:Μαύρο]] [[eml:Negher]] [[en:Black]] [[es:Negro (color)]] [[eo:Nigro]] [[eu:Beltz]] [[fa:سیاه]] [[fr:Noir]] [[gl:Negro (cor)]] [[zh-classical:黑]] [[ko:검정]] [[hr:Crna]] [[id:Hitam]] [[is:Svartur]] [[it:Nero]] [[he:שחור]] [[la:Niger (color)]] [[lt:Juoda]] [[ln:Moíndo]] [[hu:Fekete]] [[mt:Iswed]] [[ms:Hitam]] [[nah:Tlīltic]] [[nl:Zwart]] [[ja:黒]] [[no:Svart]] [[nn:Svart]] [[nrm:Nièr]] [[pl:Barwa czarna]] [[pt:Preto]] [[ksh:Schwaz (Färv)]] [[qu:Yana]] [[ru:Чёрный цвет]] [[ro:negru]] [[scn:Nìuru]] [[sk:Čierna]] [[sl:Črna]] [[sr:Црно]] [[fi:Musta]] [[sv:Svart]] [[th:สีดำ]] [[vi:Đen]] [[tg:Сиёҳ]] [[tr:Siyah]] [[bug:Lotong]] [[uk:Чорний колір]] [[yi:שווארץ]] [[zh:黑色]] 3697 677870 2008-01-12T23:36:58Z Escarbot 3833 robot Adding: [[fa:آبی]] {{colorswatch|blue}} '''Blue''' is one of the [[color]]s of the [[rainbow]] that people can see.

[[Primary colour]]s and [[secondary colour]]s are typically paired in this way: *[[red]] and [[cyan]] (<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;">&nbsp;red&nbsp;</span> <span style="background-color:#00FFFF;color:black;">&nbsp;cyan&nbsp;</span>) (where cyan is the mixture of green and blue) *[[green]] and [[magenta]] (<span style="background-color:#00FF00;color:black;">&nbsp;green&nbsp;</span> <span style="background-color:#FF00FF;color:black;">&nbsp;magenta&nbsp;</span>) (where magenta is the mixture of red and blue) *[[blue]] and [[yellow]] (<span style="background-color:#0000FF;color:white;">&nbsp;blue&nbsp;</span> <span style="background-color:#FFFF00;color:black;">&nbsp;yellow&nbsp;</span>) (where yellow is the mixture of red and green) ==Afterimages== If a person stares at a single colour for about a minute then looks at a white surface, an [[afterimage]] of the complementary colour will appear. This is because of ''eye fatigue''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pitt.edu/~n3lsk/colorabsproc.html |title=Color & The Absorption Spectrum |accessdate=January 14, 2007}}</ref>. The [[photoreceptor]]s (cells in the eye which catch coloured light) for red light in the [[retina]] (the back part of the eye) are fatigued. When photoreceptor are fatigued they are less able to send information to the brain. When the person looks at white light information of the others colour gets through normally and the illusion of viewing the complementary colour is created. == Art and design == [[Image:Byrcolorwheel.png|thumb|a [[RYB colour model|Blue-Yellow-Red colour wheel]]. Opposite colours are called complementary.]] Because of the limited range of colours that was available throughout most of the history of art, many artists still use a traditional set of complementary pairs, including: * [[red]] and [[green]] * [[blue]] and [[orange]] * [[yellow]] and [[purple]] The complement of each primary colour (red, blue, or yellow) is roughly the colour made by mixing the other two in a subtractive system (red + blue = purple; blue + yellow = green; red + yellow = orange). When two complements are mixed they produce a grey or brown. The use of complementary colours is an important aspect of art and graphic design. This also extends to other fields such as contrasting colours in [[logo]]s and [[retailing|retail display]]. When placed next to each other, complements make each other appear brighter. On an artistic [[colour wheel]], complementary colours are placed opposite one another. Although these artistic complements may not be precise complements under the scientific definition, most artistic colour wheels are laid out roughly like the HSV colour wheel discussed above. ==References== <references /> [[Category:Colors]] [[de:Komplementärfarbe]] [[en:Complementary color]] [[es:Colores complementarios]] [[fr:Couleur complémentaire]] [[ko:보색]] [[it:Colori complementari]] [[hu:Kiegészítő szín]] [[nl:Complementaire kleur]] [[ja:補色]] [[no:Komplementærfarge]] [[pt:Cores complementares]] [[ru:Дополнительные цвета]] [[sr:Комплементарне боје]] [[sv:Komplementfärg]] [[zh:互補色]] 81625 628966 2007-12-13T17:20:23Z Razorflame 13132 [[Complementary colour]] moved to [[Complementary color]] over redirect: To keep English spelling intact. #REDIRECT [[Complementary color]] 82260 634885 2007-12-17T19:32:29Z Razorflame 13132 [[Coral (color)]] moved to [[Coral (colour)]] over redirect #REDIRECT [[Coral (colour)]] 51563 689990 2008-01-21T01:27:09Z Alexbot 13560 robot Adding: [[it:Corallo (colore)]] {{colourswatch|coral}} '''Coral''' is a [[red]]dish or [[pink]]ish shade of [[orange]].

Green light has a [[wavelength]] (the distance between the smallest repeating parts of a wave) of about 550 [[nanometer]]s. Most [[leaf|leaves]] of growing [[plant]]s are green. ==Meaning of Green== Green is the color of [[nature]]. It is the [[symbol]] of growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. It can also be a color of safety. Dark green is also associated with [[money]]. Green is the most restful color for the human eye; it can improve vision. Green suggests stability and endurance. Sometimes green can stand for "no experience"; for example, a 'greenhorn' is a novice. In [[heraldry]], green stands for growth and hope. Green, as opposed to red, means safety; it is the color of "GO" in road traffic. Use green to indicate safety when advertising drugs and medical products. Green is directly related to nature, so it is often used to promote [[environment]]-friendly ('green') products. A person who is said to have a ''green thumb'' is good at growing [[plant]]s Dull, darker green is linked with money, the financial world, banking, and Wall Street. '''Dark green''' is associated with ambition, greed, and jealousy. '''Yellow-green''' can indicate sickness, cowardice, discord, and jealousy. '''Aqua''' is associated with emotional healing and protection. '''Olive green''' is the traditional color of peace. {{colors}} [[Category:Basic English 850 words]] [[Category:Colors]] [[af:Groen]] [[ar:أخضر]] [[an:Berde]] [[arc:ܝܪܘܩܐ]] [[ay:Ch'uxña]] [[az:Yaşıl]] [[zh-min-nan:Chheⁿ-sek]] [[bs:Zelena]] [[bg:Зелен цвят]] [[ca:Verd]] [[cs:Zelená]] [[cy:Gwyrdd]] [[da:Grøn]] [[de:Grün]] [[et:Roheline]] [[el:Πράσινο]] [[en:Green]] [[es:Verde]] [[eo:Verdo]] [[eu:Berde]] [[fa:سبز]] [[fr:Vert]] [[gl:Verde]] [[ko:녹색]] [[id:Hijau]] [[it:Verde]] [[he:ירוק]] [[jv:Ijo]] [[ht:Vèt]] [[ku:Kesk]] [[la:Viridis]] [[lb:Gréng]] [[lt:Žalia]] [[ln:Lángi la mpɔndú]] [[hu:Zöld]] [[mk:Зелена боја]] [[mt:Aħdar]] [[mr:हिरवा]] [[ms:Hijau]] [[nah:Xoxoctic]] [[nl:Groen (kleur)]] [[ja:緑]] [[no:Grønn]] [[nn:Grøn]] [[nrm:Vèrt]] [[nds:Gröön]] [[pl:Barwa zielona]] [[pt:Verde]] [[ro:Verde]] [[qu:Q'umir]] [[ru:Зелёный цвет]] [[scn:Virdi]] [[sk:Zelená]] [[sl:Zelena]] [[sr:Зелена боја]] [[su:Héjo]] [[fi:Vihreä]] [[sv:Grön]] [[th:สีเขียว]] [[vi:Xanh lá cây]] [[tg:Сабз]] [[tr:Yeşil]] [[uk:Зелений колір]] [[ur:سبز]] [[yi:גרין]] [[zh:綠色]] 11468 45305 2005-06-26T13:51:10Z ScribeOfTheNile 1251 created redirect #REDIRECT [[Gray]] 5556 701331 2008-01-26T16:38:02Z Idioma-bot 13161 robot Adding: ay, lt, map-bms, qu Modifying: de, sv {{colorswatch|indigo}} '''Indigo''' is a [[dye]] made from the [[Indigo plant|so-called plant]], used to dye cloth.

The name comes from the flower of the [[lavender]] plant. Originally, the name ''lavender'' only meant the colour of this flower. The colour of the flower is still the standard lavender but there are many there are many other shades of purple now called ''lavender''. The colour of the flower can be called ''floral lavender''. Other shades can range in [[hue]] from [[pink]]ish purple through [[violet]] to [[blue]]ish-[[indigo]]. They can also range from [[light]] and [[pale]] to medium and [[grey]]ish shades. By [[1930]], the book ''A Dictionary of Color''<ref>Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill</ref> identified three major shades of lavender--''[floral] lavender'', ''lavender gray'', and ''lavender blue'', and in addition a fourth shade of lavender called ''old lavender'' (a dark lavender gray) (all four of these shades of lavender are shown below).

Traditionally, the colors [[red]], [[yellow]], and [[blue]] are considered to be primary [[pigment]]s in the [[art]] world. However those colors are not the same hue as the "red", "yellow" and "blue" used in alternate color systems. Many modern applications use primary additive colors of red, green and blue; and the primary pigments (i.e. subtractive primaries) of [[magenta]], [[yellow]], and [[cyan]]. If the color space is considered as a [[vector space]], the primary colors can be regarded as a set of [[basis vector]]s for that space. == Additive primaries == [[image:AdditiveColorMixing.png|200px|thumbnail|Additive color mixing]] Media that combine emitted lights to create the sensation of a range of colors are using the [[additive color]] system. [[Television]] is the most common use of this. The '''additive primaries''' are [[red]], [[green]], and [[blue]]. Because of the response curves of the three different color receptors in the human eye, these colors are optimal in the sense that the largest range of colors &mdash; a gamut &mdash; visible by humans can be generated by mixing light of these colors. Additive mixing of red and green light, produce shades of yellow or orange. Mixing green and blue produces shades of cyan, and mixing red and blue produces shades of purple and magenta. Mixing equal proportions of the additive primaries results in shades of [[grey]]; when all three colors are fully [[saturation_(color_theory)|saturated]], the result is white. The [[color space]] that is generated is called the [[RGB]] ("red, green, blue") color space. == Subtractive primaries == Media that use reflected light and colorants to produce colors are using the [[subtractive color]] method of color mixing. In the printing industry, to produce the varying colors, apply the '''subtractive primaries''' [[yellow]], [[cyan]], and [[magenta]] together in varying amounts. Subtractive color works best when the surface or paper, is white, or close to it. [[image:SubtractiveColorMixing.png|200px|thumbnail|Subtractive color mixing]] Mixing yellow and cyan produces shades of green; mixing yellow with magenta produces shades of red, and mixing magenta with cyan produces shades of blue. In theory, mixing equal amounts of all three pigments should produce shades of grey, resulting in black when all three are fully [[saturation_(color_theory)|saturated]], but in practice they tend to produce muddy brown colors. For this reason, a fourth "primary" pigment, [[black]], is often used in addition to the cyan, magenta, and yellow colors. The color space generated is the so-called [[CMYK]] color space. The [[abbreviation]] stands for "Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black" &mdash; K stands for "Kohle" ([[German language|German]] for coal) and is used to represent black as 'B' could be confused with 'Blue'. In practice, mixtures of actual materials like [[paint]] tend to be less precise. Brighter, or more specific colors can be created using natural pigments instead of mixing, and natural properties of pigments can interfere with the mixing. For example, mixing magenta and green in acrylic creates a dark cyan - something which would not happen if the mixing process were perfectly subtractive. In the subtractive model, adding white to a color does not (in theory) change its [[hue]] but does reduce its [[saturation_(color_theory)|saturation]]. In fact, adding white usually does change the hue slightly (this is known as the [[Abney]] effect), for example, adding white to red makes it slightly bluish, or pink. {{stub}} [[Category:Colors]] [[bn:মূল রং]] [[da:Primærfarver]] [[de:Grundfarbe]] [[el:Βασικά χρώματα]] [[en:Primary color]] [[es:Color primario]] [[eo:Primara koloro]] [[fa:رنگ‌های اولیه]] [[fr:Couleur primaire]] [[gl:Cor primaria]] [[ko:삼원색]] [[id:Warna primer]] [[it:Colore primario]] [[he:צבע יסוד]] [[nl:Primaire kleur]] [[ja:原色]] [[no:Primærfarge]] [[pl:Barwy podstawowe]] [[pt:Cor primária]] [[fi:Pääväri]] [[sv:Primärfärg]] [[th:แม่สี]] [[vi:Màu gốc]] [[zh-yue:三原色]] [[zh:原色]] 51700 330440 2007-02-26T18:41:47Z FrancoGG 7696 Redirect to [[Primary color]] #REDIRECT [[Primary color]] 51906 702835 2008-01-27T17:40:02Z Alexbot 13560 robot Adding: [[it:Incarnato prugna]] {{colourswatch|puce|CC8899}} '''Puce''' is a [[deep]] [[rose (colour)|rose]] or [[brown]]ish-[[purple]] [[colour]].

Saying that someone has rosy [[cheek]]s suggests that they are in good health. Saying that someone is "seeing through rose-coloured [[eyeglasses|glasses]]" means that they are an [[optimist]], only seeing the good and neglecting to notice the bad. (The opposite type of person, a [[pessimist]], is symbolised by the colour [[Gray|grey]]). The color rose represents [[romantic love]] because it is customary to give rose flowers to one's beloved on [[Valentine's Day]], [[14 February]]. It is a popular colour for women's [[clothing]], [[lipstick]] and you can even dye your hair this colour. The colour rose is well loved in [[Iran]] because the cultivation of the [[rose]] flower is thought to have began in Iran. Rose is the national colour of [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] because the people of Georgia believe the cultivation of roses began there. The revolution in which current [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]n president [[Mikhail Saakashvili]] came to power in [[2003]] was called the [[Rose Revolution]]. [[Marrakesh]], [[Morocco]] is sometimes called the ''Rose City'' because many of its buildings are coloured shades of rose or pink. ==Shades of Rose Colour Comparison Chart== <ul> <li style = "background-color: #ffddec;"> Rose Mist (Hex: #FFDDEC) (RGB: 255, 221, 236)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ffE4E1;"> mistyrose (web colour) (Hex: #FFE4E1) (RGB: 255, 228, 225)</li> <li style = "background-color: #f4c2c2;"> Tea Rose (Hex: #F4C2C2) (RGB: 244, 194, 194)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ffbbda;"> Rose Blush (Hex: #FFBBDA) (RGB: 255, 187, 218)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ff99c7;"> Light Rose Pink (Pale Rose) (Hex: #FF99C7) (RGB: 255,153, 199)</li> <li style = "background-color: #fba0e3;"> [[Lavender (colour)|Lavender]] Rose (Hex: #FBA0E3) (RGB: 251, 160, 227)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ed9cde;"> Japanese Pink (Hex: #ED9CDE) (RGB: 237, 156, 222)</li> <li style = "background-color: #f77fbe;"> Persian Pink (Hex: #F77FBE) (RGB: 206, 70, 118)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ff77b5;"> Rose Pink (Light Rose) (Hex: #FF77B5) (RGB: 255, 119, 181)</li> <li style = "background-color: #fc80A5;"> Tickle Me Pink ([[Crayola]]) (Hex: #FC80A5) (RGB: 252, 128, 165)</li> <li style = "background-color: #f091A9;"> Mauvelous (Crayola) (Hex: #F091A9) (RGB: 240, 145, 169)<li> <li style = "background-color: #e68fac;"> Light Thulian Pink (Light Icelandic Pink) (Hex: #E68FAC) (RGB: 230, 143, 172)</li> <li style = "background-color: #cc8899;"> [[Puce]] (Hex: #CC8899) (RGB: 204, 136, 153)</li> <li style = "background-color: #db7093;"> Pale Violet Red (web colour) (Hex: #DB7093) (RGB: 219, 112, 147)<li> <li style = "background-color: #de6fa1;"> Thulian Pink (Icelandic Pink) (Hex: #DE6FA1) (RGB: 222, 111, 61)<li> <li style = "background-color: #fb607f;"> Brink Pink (Crayola) (Hex: #FB607F) (RGB: 251, 96, 127)</li> <li style = "background-color: #f05b78;"> Light Watermelon (Wild Watermelon [Crayola]) (Hex: #F05B78) (RGB: 253, 91, 153)</li> <li style = "background-color: #d8424F;"> Watermelon (Hex: #D8424F) (RGB: 216, 66, 79)</li> <li style = "background-color: #db5079;"> Cranberry (Crayola) - (Hex: #DB5079) (RGB: 219, 80, 127)</li> <li style = "background-color: #f64a8a;"> French Rose (Hex: #F64A8A) (RGB: 246, 74, 138)</li> <li style = "background-color: #f7468a;"> Violet Red (Crayola) (Hex: #F7468A) (RGB: 247, 70, 138)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ff3399;"> Wild Strawberry (Crayola) - (Hex: #FF3399) (RGB: 255, 51, 153)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ff69b4;"> Hot [[Pink]] (web colour) (Hex: #FF69B4) (RGB: 255, 105, 180)</li> <li style = "background-color: #ff55a3;"> Brilliant Rose (Hex: #FF55A3) (RGB: 255, 85, 163)</li> <li style = "background-color: #f653A6;"> Deep Brilliant Rose (Crayola "Magenta";

It is called a [[white metal]] even though it looks [[grey]]. The word '''silver''' is also used to talk about this [[colour]] or [[shade]] of [[grey]]. In [[chemistry]], silver is [[chemical element]] 47, a [[transition metal]] in [http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coinage_metal&action=edit Group 11]. It has an [[atomic weight]] of 107.86 a.m.u. Its symbol is Ag, from the [[Latin]] word for silver, ''argentum''. Silver is very [[malleable]], and [[wikt:ductile|ductile]], which means it can be pulled into [[wire]] or hammered into thin sheets. When it is used in money or in jewellery, it is often [[mixed]] with [[gold]] or some other metal to make it [[harder]]. Silver is a good conductor of electricity. Silver can be found alone. Silver can be found with [[copper]], [[lead]], or gold in [[mineral|rocks]]. The rocks are found mostly in [[Canada]], [[Mexico]], [[Peru]], and the [[United States]]. [[Northern American]] [[Country|Countries]]: Canada and the United States of America. (USA, US, United States) [[SouthernAmerican]] Countries: Mexico and Peru. Mexico [[produce]]s the most silver. Silver is not a large [[wikt:danger|danger]] to [[human]]s. It can [[kill]] [[bacteria]] and has other useful properties. Silver, because is depleting, is actually more valuable than gold. The silver saved up in the world is running out very quickly because more of it has been used each year than the amount mined in each year since 1990. [[Companies]] that use silver have benefitted from [[speculators]] who sell promises to deliver silver that does not exist, keeping prices artificially low. This is called [[naked short selling]]. The amount owed is more than all the silver in the [[world]]. The [[price]] of silver could go very high when the stored silver runs out and investors start asking for their [[metal]] back, instead of taking more [[IOU]]s. Silver [[coins]] and [[bars]] can be bought and sold at [[coin]] [[shops]] around the [[world]]. Silver is one of the only words in the [[English language]] that does not rhyme with any other word. {{wiktionary}} <!-- Material to be simplified and merged with above Silver is found combined with a number of different elements to form a variety of minerals and ores. It is also found in very small amounts (called trace amounts) in gold, lead, zinc, and copper ores. As a mineral, silver crystallizes in the cubic (isometric) system. In rare cases it forms crystals. Usually it is found in thin sheets or as long wires and bundles of wires, as in these drawings of native silver from Colorado. Silver is rather soft at 2 to 3 on Mohs' hardness scale. Like gold, it is malleable which means it can be hammered into thin sheets. It is also ductile, meaning it can be drawn into wire. Name Silver was named from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) word seolfer. This name is related to the German word silber and the Dutch word zilfer. An early Latin name for this mineral was Luna which means moon, an allusion to its striking, bright luster. Sources Silver is found in lead, zinc, and copper ore deposits. A full two-thirds of the silver resources in the world are found in association with these other metal ores. The remaining third is found in association with deposits of gold. The most important ore mineral of silver is argentite (Ag2S, silver sulfide). In the United States, Nevada is the leading producer of silver where it is a by-product of gold mining. Other significant world producers of silver are Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Canada. A number of other countries produce smaller amounts of silver. Uses Silver has been used for thousands of years for jewelry and decorative items of all types. Likewise, it has been used for silverware. Of all the metals, untarnished silver is the best reflector of light. As a result, it was used in ancient times to make mirrors. Unfortunately, silver tarnishes very easily and quickly, and its use as a mirror could be frustrating. Sterling silver is silver alloyed with another metal, usually copper. For such an alloy to be called “Sterling” it has to have 92.5% silver content. Silver is also used as a currency and at one time, along with gold, was the standard for the currency of the United States of America. Silver bromide and silver nitrate are used in photography. It is estimated that about one-third of the silver used in the United States is used in various photographic materials and processes. It is also used in electrical products because it conducts electricity so well (silver actually conducts electricity more efficiently than copper). It is used by dentists in amalgam fillings. Silver is also used in the production of bearings. Silver is element number 47, with 47 electrons and protons, silver can be mixed with anything. Substitutes and Alternative Sources There are a number of materials and technologies that can be used in place of silver. Stainless steel is used to make tableware. Film with a lower silver content might be used in photography. Digital photography can conceivably significantly reduce the demand for silver-based films. Digital imaging will also reduce the consumption of silver-based films in the printing industry.
