Can't find it now, but I was going to throw in a leftfield suggestion - silver.
When I was a kid I played for a team with a silver shirt. We were rubbish... but the best looking team in the league. Looked really classy.
Can't find a decent jpg of one to drop in here so it's obviously quite a rare colour for a football shirt, but I'd quite like to see us do something a bit different like that (particularly for the 3rd kit). |  |

I have a soft spot for kits where the shirts, shorts and socks are all different colours, (e.g Brazil, Manchester United, Rangers, Portsmouth.) I wish more clubs would do this for their away kits, - e.g. brown shirts, white shorts, light blue socks. (In the lower leagues at least, you do see this occasionally when teams wear their home socks with their away kits to avoid the socks clashing.
Conversely, I don't like one-colour away kits. Town's all-orange would have been FAR better if it had been orange shirt, white shorts, brown socks! I guess what I'm saying is I like kits that look like they might normally belong to a Rumanian second division team. |
A brown shirt is the last I'd want. Urgh! | |

Brown shirts?! 😱
I also like the thought of a rainbow shirt, doesn't have to be only for the LBGTQ+ communities.
Or could be something that combines all the colours of our past away shirts, eg wavy stripes of orange, pink, red, maroon (and a bit of deep blue?) - sounds counter-intuitive, but that can create a really pleasingly 'hot' pattern/blend. Had an Indian cotton shirt like that in the 1960s which was stunning. |  |

I’ve been waiting for a modern take on the 90s green and purple… would pay good money for that.
In general though, I think I typically think of a Town away shirt as orange. |  | | |

Everton did one. Not sure if it was ever worn as matchday kit but looks cool I think

Silver has a metallic shiny quality, whereas grey is flat. I had a shirt that was the former.
From AI: "Silver is a metallic color, often perceived as a shiny, reflective shade of gray. Grey, on the other hand, is a neutral color, a mixture of black and white, without the inherent shine of silver."
Here's a silver object;
Here's a grey one;
I can't believe we're even having this discussion. |
Look at your pictures...
The first object, yes it is silver coloured. Light is glinting off some parts of it. Now look at the parts of it which are not caught in the light. You can see that they are grey.
The object may be made of silver, it is silver coloured. Silver (the colour) is on the achromatic scale. That is to say it has no hue. It is near the 'white' end of the black/white (achromatic) scale. Each point on that scale, between black and white, including representations of silver, is grey.
Your other picture... the mouse.
The ears of the mouse are clearly light grey. Plenty of cars are very close to that shade of grey. Manufacturers call those shades of grey 'silver'.
Look up 'silver' in any dictionary. Maybe you already did and the answers didn't suit your argument.
Why do I need to explain this stuff to an adult? |  |

I've literally posted AI's definition of grey versus silver in my last reply, did you miss that bit?
I think you'll find most adults accept that grey and silver are two different things.
I've never heard of anyone winning a grey medal at the Olympics!
And I don't know why you keep banging on about the naming of car colours, which I'm sure are embellished - we're talking about football shirts. | |
