What color is pure iron?

silvery-gray
Pure iron is a soft, lustrous, dark silvery-gray metal. Iron is a strongly reactive metal, being very reactive with acids, and forms oxides, commonly known as rust, with air and water. Many reddish or orange colored rocks gain this color from the rusting of iron within the rocks.
