Nickel is a bright, silvery-metallic colour, most naturally derived from the metal nickel. This colour is highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation, and is often used to coat cladding, car parts and jewellery. Nickel is essentially a hard and ferromagnetic material, which when alloyed can give a variety of colour effects, but is most often characterised by a cold, metallic luster.
Nickel is often used for decorative and industrial purposes, as it gives products a modern and elegant look. It is also popular in industrial design and architecture, where a clean and professional look is important. The colour does not change easily over time, which ensures the long-term durability of objects that bear this coating.
