The rich yellow colour of gold is caused by the pronounced step in the reflectivity curve at an energy of incident light of approximately 2. EV, as shown in Figure 1. The decrease in reflectivity at higher energies of incident light is due to a change in the electron band structure due to alloying. A more sophisticated approach is needed to understand the reason for the colouration of metals like gold and copper, or for the greyish tinge exhibited by metals like nickel, palladium or platinum.
