Anything that has a shiny gray color is silvery, like the silvery moonlit surface of a pond at night.

The adjective silvery is perfect for describing things that shimmer and glow like silver, whether it's the silverly hue of your grandmother's long hair, silvery moth wings, or the silvery sardines in the tin you just opened.
