I don't think much harm is done about silver colors - afterall, correspondance
with LEGO internal color numbers remain somewhat academic, what we need is to
know which LDraw color to use in each case.
If I understand well (correct me otherwise!):
- Color 383 is to be used only for shiny, polished chrome silver
- Color 80 is for painted silver, be it for entire parts (eg some Technic
wheels, or medieval helmets) or for patterned parts.
- Color 179 goes with tainted in the mass, swirled silver parts (eg. a lot a
Bionicle parts)
Other minor variations do exist as LEGO processes evolved, but as far as I can
tell they can be easily mapped to one of the three LDraw colors above.

You're probably right... what would be useful nonetheless would be a page with
each LDraw color and one (or more) _good_ photograph of a part using it.
