There's some interesting understanding of metals that is unique. It is a higher understanding than present chemistry. STUB

The plethora of metals in the Periodic Table is hardly ideal. A better understanding comes from the concept of provenance. If you take the stellar source model of all atomic metals than you can imagine how different forces shape the metal into greater or lessor nobility.

There are three main axiis to group metals: strength of its creation (the strength and source of its crucible), purity and source of light (the energy from which it came), and virtue applied.

Lead is one of the basest metals (black), low str, low light, low virtue. The other is the noble metals: high str, high purity, complete virtue (white).

The virtues that make the noble metals, are presently love (gold), logic (palladium), consistency of reason/science (platinum), honesty (copper)

alsowik. The highest noble metal (electrum) is light itself turned into solidity. Mithril is the name of it`s applied form.

Is there a logical color association for the metals light source? It may just be practical to associate it (very practical for salvage yards). And certainly there are associations already, like reddish copper, and golden gold. copper (red), tin (orange), brass/gold (yellow), iron (green), aluminum/silver (blue), platinum (violet). As subtle as possible (like pastel) but still discernable. The left-side of $1US can hold the darker novelty variants of these colors.

Yin (->Titanium->Tantalum->Tungsten (dark black)

The other axis is one of history (post-Creation, pre-Creation). Gold and Steel share one side (made with , Platinum and Palladium are on another. Strength and light source + virtue
