I recently posted a request for RGB values to create colors.
I now admit my ignorance as to what a metallic color really
is.  Now I would like to ask if any one has values for 
diffuse reflectivity, light attenuation etc that can be used
to create metallic appearances?  I realize that each machines
monitor will display the colors differently but I can adjust 
for that.  What I am looking for is a starting point.  Also
Thank You to all the people that took the time to post replies.
To the ones that sought more info.  It is coming as soon as
I have a chance to get it together.
