[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2898640, member: 2844"]Tin is silvery white.;) Bronze can have other minerals in the alloy that influence the colour. Below is a table from one of the sites I use for archaeological bronzes and bronze alloys. If we look at the bronze made from only copper and tin, you can see that nr 3, copper with 12% tin (Sn), is yellow. "The alloys of bronze range in colour from red to yellow (See Table 2). The percentage of tin in the alloys influences the colour changes. The alloy No. 7, which contains the least tin at 5 %, is the reddest, followed in this order of alloys No. 4, No. 1, No. 5, No. 9, No. 2, No. 6, No. 3 and finally alloy No. 8 with 15 % tin, which is yellow (See Figure 8).
