Mirrors don't have a color, they reflect the light rays that bounce onto them, so although you think they're silver, they're actually not

Mirrors are only the colours which they reflect.
Semantically you could argue that they're black, white or silver, but the general consensus is that they are what they are reflecting.

Mirrors don't emit, so they are colourless.
Mirrors do reflect whatever light is shined on them, so they are white.
Most people would just say they look "silvery".

Mirrors are whatever colour is in their reflection.

Mirrors don't have color. They are made from a surface that reflects the colors of its surroundings.

Mirrors are a reflection of all the colors that is around the mirror. The mirror doesn't have a designated color, it just reflects the colors around it.
