El plateado o color plata es un color gris claro brillante que recuerda la plata. En heráldica se le ha denominado argén. Por lo general, se espera que esta coloración tenga brillo metálico, por lo que en el arte y en la heráldica se prefiere una pintura metálica que brille como la plata verdadera. Un color gris claro mate, como la muestra de esta página, también puede considerarse color plateado. Otros ejemplos y coloraciones similares:

Silver or Metallic gray is a color tone resembling gray that is a representation of the color of polished silver. The visual sensation usually associated with the metal silver is its metallic shine. This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color, because the shiny effect is due to the material's brightness varying with the surface angle to the light source. In addition, there is no mechanism for showing metallic or fluorescent colors on a computer without resorting to rendering software which simulates the action of light on a shiny surface. Consequently, in art and in heraldry one would normally use a metallic paint that glitters like real silver. A matte grey color like the swatch on this page could also be considered silver in color.
