Sorry I went silent for a while there; work has been crazy this week.
The impression I'm getting is that I should add a the copper and silver
platings and the yellow silk to my patch before it gets integrated. I think
this makes sense as changing it from a boolean later would break backward
compatibility. Does that sound like the best plan?
Unfortunately, I might not have a chance to implement this until sometime
next week, but I am willing to do this. I'll add a new file to the bug
report and send out an email when I get it done. I look forward to getting
my first patch included :)

Metallic colours are impossible to reproduce exactly, but the RGB<br>
colour (192,192,192) or 75% white is called silver. This might be<br>
used as a starting point, but my impression is that genuine silver<br>
